Provincial Housing Study Application

THAT the Clerk's Office be authorized to notify the Greater Vancouver
Regional District the City of Port Coquitlam Supports their application to
the Ministry of Municipal Affairs for a grant to study the supply of
rental accommodation.

COMMENTS 3

This grant application is to Carry out a study to provide back ground
information about the supply of rental accommodation in GVRD municipalities.

The project will benefit the City's planning programme. Over the past two
years emphasis has been placed on the supply of single family land and industrial
land. The supply of multiple family land has been ignored. It appears there is
now a shortage of land for apartments and townhouses. As a final note it is
drawn to Council's attention, this information will be collected at no cost to
the City. The provincial grant will pay all project costs.

In conclusion, support for the GVRD grant application is recommended.
