ABSTRACT
The threat of Vancouver’s housing crisis on its diversity has required the City to take significant actions in its housing strategy. The intersection between housing affordability challenges and marginalization, including gender and sexual identity, race, poverty, family status, and mental and physical health, has become a powerful force limiting the future of inclusion, diversity and mixed communities in Vancouver. While mixed-income communities have long been a policy focus, Housing Vancouver has a broader focus on diversity and looks to provide a fuller range of new affordable homes that can better meet the needs of those who live and work in Vancouver.
