Vancouver looks to help religious groups build affordable housing

Vancouver City Hall is considering a plan to assist faith groups in building affordable housing. A motion from Coun. Rebecca Bligh aims to streamline the redevelopment process for churches and religious organizations that own tax-exempt land. Bligh highlighted the need for these groups to contribute socially while managing their properties. Support from local faith leaders emphasizes the challenges of navigating bureaucracy. The initiative seeks to provide resources and regulatory changes to facilitate affordable housing projects by these groups.
