Mission, BC—The City of Mission received an order from the Minister of Housing today containing the Province’s five-year housing targets for the community.
The five-year housing target for the City of Mission is 1,798 units, which is the total minimum number of new housing units required to comply with the Provincial Housing Target Order.
"Mission has had an ambitious affordable housing strategy for some time now and these Province’s expectations are comparable with our own," said Mayor Paul Horn. "Mission is experiencing remarkable growth and Council has already been focused on ensuring a diverse housing supply, and on working with developers to accommodate renters, first time buyers, seniors and people with low or fixed incomes. That work will continue here, including a suite of new policies and bylaw amendments expected this fall."
Housing Targets Per Year
The annual cumulative number of net new housing units will be:
| Year | Net New Units | Cumulative Targets |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 (2025) | +211 | 211 |
| Year 2 (2026) | +261 | 472 |
| Year 3 (2027) | +335 | 807 |
| Year 4 (2028) | +434 | 1241 |
| Year 5 (2029) | +557 | 1,798 |
Council also recently amended the Zoning Bylaw in response to the Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing requirements. The aim of the SSMUH legislation is to increase housing supply, create more diverse housing options, and over time, contribute to more affordable housing in Mission.
