We want your feedback on West Kelowna’s Housing Strategy!
The City of West Kelowna has been working to create its first Housing Strategy, and we want to hear from you!
Feedback is open from August 3 to 23, and we want you to tell us what you think to help inform and guide the draft key directions, and action items in the Housing Strategy for the future of housing in West Kelowna.
About the project
The City has prepared its first Housing Strategy to address local housing needs through achievable and collaborative policies and actions. Building on the recently completed Housing Needs Assessment and Unique Identifier Count, the draft Housing Strategy identifies a set of strategies and actions to improve housing throughout the community. Read the draft Housing Strategy for more information.
While this Housing Strategy outlines a roadmap for City action on housing, it acknowledges that improving housing outcomes in the community requires commitment and collaboration from the entire housing sector, including Provincial and Federal governments, non-profit housing providers, and private developers. Successful outcomes also require the ongoing support and engagement of the broader community. Learn more about the process on our Housing webpage.
Linking the Housing Strategy to the Official Community Plan
Our Official Community Plan (OCP) 2020-2040 describes the City’s long-term vision, objectives and policies to help guide growth within the community. The Housing Strategy intends to complement the direction set out in the OCP by providing high level guidance towards future policy and bylaw development to accommodate growth that meets our community’s diverse housing needs. Find out more about the OCP.
