Thank
you
very
much,
honourable
speaker.
Thank
you
very
much
honorable
speaker.
The
universal
declaration
on
human
rights
book
proclaimed
by
the
united
nations
in
1948
declared
housing
as
a
human
right,
and
we
all
know
we're
struggling
with
the
housing
crisis
in
british
columbia,
and
I
hear
from
my
constituents
in
maple
ridge
and
mission
about
the
challenges
people
are
facing
on
the
broad
spectrum
of
housing
from
affordable,
fam
single-family
homes
to
rental
housing
for
low-income,
seniors
and
youth,
as
well
as
supportive
and
transitional
homes
for
those
in
need.
A
Now,
while
we
have
a
lot
of
work
today,
I
wanted
to
talk
today
about
the
successes
and
the
partnerships
that
are
forming
in
my
riding.
One
of
them
is
cornerstone
in
maple
ridge.
It's
a
partnership
with
the
province,
the
government
of
canada
and
maple
ridge,
pit
meadows,
community
services
with
contributions
from
the
city,
and
this
project
will
deliver
74
units
of
rental
housing
for
low
and
middle
income,
families
and
seniors,
and
recently
they
pivoted
20
units
for
youth
who
are
between
18
and
25,
experiencing
or
at
risk
of
homelessness.
A
We
also
need
to
ensure
that
there's
housing
available
for
moderate
incomes
and
it
may
ridge
bc
housing
is
currently
taking
applications
for
turcotte
manor,
which
is
a
64
unit,
rental
building,
offering
apartments
at
rates
below
market
rates.
Now,
in
my
the
other
side
of
my
riding
and
mission,
the
mission
association
for
seniors
housing
and
the
city
admission
and
the
province
worked
together
to
create
74
units
of
seniors
housing
earlier
this
year.
A
Also,
the
lookout
society
partnered
with
the
province
through
housing
hub
to
open,
70
units
of
affordable
housing
in
my
riding
and
other
partners
like
habitat
for
humanity,
are
also
working
with
the
housing
hub
and
others
in
our
community.
Also
mission
is
partnering
with
bc,
housing
and
mission
community
services,
society
to
start
construction
on
50,
new,
supportive
housing
units
in
our
community.
