Commitment: Bring together a housing roundtable with developers, community services, and housing advocates to inform policy decisions and help design livable communities.

Record: The city's Housing Affordability Summit put the focus where it belonged, on getting families into homes, not on paperwork. That meant cutting permit times by 73% so homes get built faster, and expanding rental and low-income housing options so more homes get built and families get keys faster, not developers sitting on paperwork longer.

Commitment: Work with federal and provincial governments and community stakeholders to ensure a continuum of affordable housing options including rental units.

Record: Families waiting on an affordable place to live don't have years to spare. We secured $16.6M in federal funding to fast-track housing, expanded rental and low-income options, and built a concierge program, so projects with a real impact move through approvals faster, not slower, because someone's waiting on the other end.

Commitment: Prioritize approvals of apartment and townhouse developments within a 15-minute walk of Haney instead of at the city limits.

Record: Locked in growth around the Haney core through an updated Town Centre Area Plan that adds greater density near the Haney Transit Exchange and Port Haney Station, plus a new Lougheed Transit Corridor plan doing the same along Lougheed Highway. Growth that pays for the services it uses, not sprawl that costs taxpayers more.
