The Province's population increased by 50,000 for a total of 2,471,000 persons. This growth rate, however, was the lowest since 1962 and represented a 2.1-per-cent increase, a sharp decline from the 3.5-per-cent rate recorded in mid-1974, but still above the 1.5-per-cent Canadian average. Also, for the first time since 1958, the Province had a net loss of families in 1975; the net loss of 30 families was in sharp contrast to the net gain of 3,731 families in 1974. Housing starts throughout British Columbia increased by 9 per cent with 34,152 starts as compared with 31,420 in the previous year. Only Metro Vancouver reported a decline of 8 per cent from 14,452 starts to 13,308. Greater Victoria had a 51-per-cent hike, from 2,630 starts in 1974 to 3,980 in 1975. Centres with populations of over 10,000 recorded a total of 8,794 starts, a 35-per-cent increase over the 6,533 starts in 1974. Rural communities, with less than 10,000 persons, had a 3-per-cent increase, 7,805 starts in 1974 to 8,070 this year. The inventory of newly completed, unoccupied apartments and rowhouses in Metro Vancouver increased by 145 per cent in 1975 from 675 units in November 1974 to 1,652 a year later. In Greater Victoria there were 199, one unit less than the 200 units that were unoccupied in November 1974. Metro Vancouver had 1,158 vacant, single-detached new houses and duplexes in November 1975, 441 units less than a year previously. Greater Victoria had 34 unoccupied new homes as against 1 1 1 such units in November 1974. Apartment vacancy rates showed no improvement and remained at 0.1 per cent in both Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria. Z 8 BRITISH COLUMBIA There are some 824,000 dwelling units (one unit for every three persons) in British Columbia today. Approximately 60 to 63 per cent, or just over half a million units, are owner-occupied. The remaining units are rented.

The Department's functions remained unchanged: "to supervise, acquire, develop, maintain, improve, and dispose of housing in the Province" and to perform other duties assigned by Cabinet. During 1975 the Department administered the following Acts: Elderly Citizens' Housing Aid Act, Elderly Citizen Renters Grant Act (repealed effective December 31, 1975), Housing Act, Leasehold and Conversion Mortgage Loan Act, Provincial Home Acquisition Act, Provincial Home-owner Grant Act, Renters Resource Grant Act (repealed March 31, 1975), School Tax Removal and Resource Grant Act, Strata Titles Act. Dunhill Development Corporation, acquired by the Department on January 10, 1974, was primarily assigned the responsibility of land assembly and housing development within the Greater Vancouver Regional District and the Capital Regional District and administration of the Province-wide proposal call program. The British Columbia Housing Management Commission, an agency of the Province created under the Housing Act in 1967 to manage public housing, increased its portfolio by approximately 63 per cent in 1975. The Commission had 6,845 units as of December 31,1975, as compared with 4,200 units at the previous year's end. The number of units for senior citizens increased by 77.5 per cent, from 2,110 units to 3,745 units, while family units jumped by 48 per cent, from 2,090 units to 3,100 units. Twenty-three more communities had BCHMC rental units in 1975, increasing the 1974 total of 15 to 38. The Federal/Provincial rent supplement program for tenants in nonprofit and Government-owned housing projects was also administered by the Commission in 1975.

Unexpended moneys in Votes at the end of the fiscal year revert to the Provincial Treasury. Unexpended moneys in Funds remain in the respective funds and are carried over into the fund for the next fiscal year. The Department administers two funds: (1) The Housing Fund and (2) The Home Acquisition Fund. The Housing Fund was established in 1974. It replaces the $10 million Housing Incentive Fund. The unexpended balance from the latter plus additional advances raised the Housing Fund to $20 million in 1974. Another $50 million was added by the 1974/75 budget and $69,720,459 by the 1975/76 allocation. On December 31,1975, the balance in this fund stood at $8 million. The $220 million Provincial Home Acquisition Fund, established in 1967, received a boost of $40 million in 1974 to help provide first leasehold mortgages and home conversion loans, besides the home acquisition grants and second mortgage loans financed by this fund. There was a $31.9 million balance in this fund at year's end. While the Department administers the Provincial Home-owner Grant Act, the School Tax Removal Act, and the Renters Tax Credit Program (RentAid), the funds for these grants are included in the appropriations for other departments. Dunhill Development Corporation Limited The Department acquired Dunhill and its subsidiary companies for $5.8 million in January 1974. At the end of its 1974/75 fiscal year, the Crown-owned firm reported a $2,594,456 net profit. Retained earnings was $5,682,746. Dunhill's total assets were at $13,461,690, while its total liabilities were $5,876,775, for a net worth of $7,584,915. George Gray British Columbia Housing Management Commission The Department shares with Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation costs of the Commission, the operating losses of the rental units managed by the Commission, and the rent subsidies provided by the Commission to its tenants and tenants in selected nonprofit senior citizens' housing projects. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING Z 13 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS ^•IPH >Mf j Clockwise: Robert Gubbe, Lou Marcoux, Neil Jackson, George Goos and Paul Louie. Clockwise: Jim May, Malcolm Pearse and Ray Gilchrist. Land Assembly and Servicing As the shortage of serviced land is the basic reason for inflated land prices, the Department gave top priority to land assembly and servicing. The Department has now assembled some 6,000 acres, representing some 188 acquisitions in over 50 municipalities. Under Section 215A of the Municipal Act, the Department entered into agreements for servicing municipal and privately owned lands within municipal development areas. Development of Subdivisions and New Neighbourhoods The Department was involved in the development of new subdivisions ih many municipalities and some under the auspices of the Federal/Provincial partnership, with capital, costs, profits, and losses shared on a 75-per-cent (Federal) and 25-per-cent (Provincial) basis. The development lots are either leased or were sold through various Federal, Provincial, or municipal programs. Z 14 BRITISH COLUMBIA Jack Williams Ben Pires Construction of Family Rental Units The Department implemented a new approach to the construction of family rental units by private builders through the proposal call system. Builders, large and small, were provided interim-financing for the construction of ground-oriented family accommodation on the builders' own land or, in some instances, on Crown- owned land. When a project is completed, it is purchased with a fair return to the builder. The units generated by this program are rented under the auspices of the British Columbia Housing Management Commission. The program was established in May of 1974 and, by the end of that year, there were 418 units valued at $15,654,000 under construction. As of December 31,1975, some 596 units valued at $20,285,000 had been completed in 1 1 municipalities under this program and turned over to the British Columbia Housing Management Commission. There were 750 units valued at $24,970,000 under construction in 14 municipalities at the end of 1975. SafiSS 9 f Si « art" Ptov^^Sg^ «**"& (Dpos,"J TT^TT^^. -l-lTTtS&iTT wveo * a** tt»S Construction of Senior Citizens' Rental Units The Department has some 780 rental units for senior citizens proposed or under construction as of December 31, 1975. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING Z 15 FINANCIAL AND (OR) DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS Condominium Development Amendments to the Strata Titles Act were passed in 1975. More stringent controls were placed on conversions. Also, for the first time in Canada, condominiums may be built on leased Crown or municipal land. To enable the British Columbia Association of Strata Corporations to establish an office to service condominium corporations throughout the Province, the Department extended a start-up grant to the association. Rural and Remote Area Housing Under a Federal-Provincial agreement signed in 1974, the Federal and Provincial Governments share on a 75 to 25-per-cent basis the construction costs of new homes in remote areas. This program is for communities with a population of less than 2,500, although larger centres may be eligible if other government programs are not available. In 1975, the Federal/Provincial partnership surpassed its target of constructing 300 units in rural and remote areas. There were 334 units built as of December 31, 1975, and 414 units designated or under construction. British Columbia thus had more units built and under construction under the program than any other Province. Neighbourhood Improvement Program The purpose of this program is to improve the amenities and living conditions in residential neighbourhoods. The Provincial Government designates the municipalities which will participate in the program in any given year while the designated municipality selects the neighbourhoods which will receive the financial assistance. In 1973/74, the first year of the agreement, the Federal Government extended $6 million and the Provincial Government approved $2 million for programs in eight designated municipalities. In 1975, 16 municipalities were selected to receive a total of $10.2 million: $5.1 million in grants and $2.55 million in loans from the Federal Government and $2.55 million from the Province. Z 16 BRITISH COLUMBIA Nonprofit Senior Citizens1 Housing The Department encouraged nonprofit sponsors such as service clubs, churches, ethnic and other groups, to build and manage various types of senior citizen housing. The Department's program, under the Elderly Citizens' Housing Aid Act, passed in 1957, provided • grants of up to one third of capital costs to self-contained home developments; • grants of 35 per cent for boarding residences and facilities offering special care to occupants; • purchase of suitable sites, if necessary, and transfer of title when mortgage is approved and purchase price is refunded to the Department. To encourage municipalities to support senior citizens' housing, the Municipal Act was amended to remove the obligatory municipal tax exemption for new developments approved after April 1, 1974. Municipalities are now able to subject these projects to real property taxes for the first time. To further reduce rents, the Rent Supplement Program was extended to nonprofit housing so that senior citizens would not pay more than 25 per cent of their income on rent. Regulations were also amended to broaden eligible guidelines for accommodation in these nonprofit housing units. Amendments now require that the "average" fixed income of tenants shall not exceed 130 per cent of Mincome ($239.85 on April 1, 1975), or $31 1.80. Previously, occupancy was limited to elderly persons whose "total" fixed income did not exceed 1 15 per cent of Mincome. The amendments also require that preference in the allocation of suites be given to those whose fixed income does not exceed Mincome or to persons whose names are recorded in a housing registry established or designated by the Minister, such as the British Columbia Housing Management Commission's waiting list. In 1975, $10 million was allocated for senior citizens' self-contained and hostel units plus $2 million for personal and intermediate care facilities. As of December 31,1975, the Department was assisting in the construction of some 2,969 apartment and 802 special-care, nonprofit senior citizens' units throughout the Province. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING Z 17 Co-operative Housing Co-operative housing subscribes to the principle that housing is for shelter and not for profit. The Department's assistance to housing co-operatives included • purchase of land for co-operatives or preference in the disposition of Crown land. • a land lease at 4 per cent of market value with the first payment due 12 months after execution of the lease. • a high-impact grant of up to 10 per cent of the construction cost is awarded in special cases to lower rents for a period of not less than five years and not more than 10 years; • funds shared with CMHC for deposits and rent supplements for low-income residents. The Department assisted in the establishment of some 25 new co-operatives. As of December 31, 1975, there were 895 Government- assisted co-operative housing units occupied, 360 under construction, and 847 planned. The Department has leased 86.28 acres of Crown land to housing co-operatives and an additional 36.24 acres have been committed toward this form of housing tenure. High-Impact Grants totalling $ 1,608,234.10 were awarded to nine housing co-operatives during 1975. A $ 175,000 grant was extended to United Housing Foundation in 1975 to provide technical guidance to groups intending to form co-operatives. This grant was made on the condition that the Foundation be self-supporting after using up this grant. The nonprofit organization was established in 1972 to promote the development of housing co-operatives. A $160,000-grant was extended to the Foundation in 1974. #W:iiirp;;JHhH --.n ■■-. • ■: • Left to right: Lockie McKinnon, Martin Thomas, Howie Nuttall. Z 18 BRITISH COLUMBIA SELECTIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS High-Impact Grants To preserve the economic viability of housing projects built by the third sector (nonprofit) the Department introduced the "high-impact" grant program in 1975. The grants are up to 10 per cent of capital cost of housing projects sponsored by nonprofit societies, corporations, and co-operatives. The "full recovery" rents for some of these projects are too high but, because of the fixed debt-service charges, these rents should come within affordable range after five or ten years. It is, therefore, necessary to extend some form of rent supplement for the first five to ten years with the supplement highest in the first year and diminishing every successive year as income increases. The "high-impact" grants reduce the "full recovery" rents such that they do not exceed 30 per cent of a co-op member or tenant's income. The amount of the grant is established annually based on the spread of the individual member's income. Grants totalling $2,284,573.10 were extended to nine housing co-operatives, a nonprofit society, and the Greater Vancouver Regional District Housing Corporation. Rent Supplement Program At the initiative of the Department, a Federal/Provincial rent supplement program was established in British Columbia in 1975 for all low and modest Regional Managers (left to right): Ray Skelly (Vancouver); Doug McColl (Victoria); Howie Morgan (Kelowna); Vic Hamm (Prince George); and Ray Daniels (Cranbrook). income tenants in nonprofit and co-operative housing projects. Under this program, tenants do not pay more than 25 per cent of their gross income toward rent. The rent supplement is the difference between this amount and the break-even rent of the unit. The two levels of government will share the subsidies to the tenants. Generally, up to 25 per cent of the family units and up to 100 per cent of senior citizens' units in a designated project are eligible for assistance under this program. The two Governments, however, may approve higher ratios in family accommodations. The total budgeted subsidy for the 6,945 units managed by the Commission for 1975 was $6.26 million. Twenty nonprofit housing projects received $94,074. There were 825 residents involved in 1,117 eligible units. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING Z 19 Rental Information Service Grants The maximum annual grant was 15 cents per capita and was intended to cover the deficits of rental information service. The grant was subject to the following conditions: The municipality makes a contribution to the service equal to 50 per cent of the Provincial grant. Fees levied by the service may not exceed $10, with no charge for senior citizens, students, and social allowance recipients. The service employs people from the Department of Human Resources' opportunities program or incentive program, whenever possible. Only three municipalities applied for and received the grant since the program was established: $ North Vancouver City __ 4,777.00 City of Vancouver 37,296.00 District of Burnaby 18,626.67 Residential Land Lease A new concept introduced by the Department to tackle the high cost of serviced land from another front was the land lease program. The Department leased individual lots of land to families to lower the cost of owning a home where it was developing subdivisions through land assembly or on Crown lands. These lots were leased to a qualified purchaser by means of a prepaid 99-year lease, or a 60-year lease that had a low monthly rental rate but no lease rent payable for the first year. Leasehold subdivisions were developed in Chetwynd, Coquitlam, Fort Nelson, Granisle, Kamloops, Mackenzie, Nakusp, Port Edward, Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Prince George, Prince Rupert, Revelstoke, Squamish, Vancouver, and Williams Lake. Some 619 leases were issued in 1975. There were 604 60-year leases and 1 5 99-year leases issued in 1975. Leasehold Mortgage Loans To encourage families to build their own homes on leased land, leasehold mortgage loans were made available with low-income families eligible for a reduced interest rate. There were 219 applications for the first mortgage loans during the first two months (November and December 1974) of the program and 162 loans were approved. The value committed was $4,395,260. Approximately $13.9 million from the Provincial Home Acquisition Fund was paid out for 510 first mortgages on leased land. Z 20 BRITISH COLUMBIA Home Conversion Mortgage Loans To increase rental accommodation and residential densities in large urban areas without disrupting neighbourhoods with comprehensive redevelopment, the Department unveiled a home conversion mortgage loan program. The Department offers a loan of up to $ 12,000 for the first new rental unit created in a duplex or multiple dwelling and $6,000 for each additional unit. The interest rate is 8 per cent if the loan is secured by a first mortgage and 9 per cent if secured by a second mortgage. The loans were made available initially to resident home-owners in Vancouver, Burnaby, and New Westminster, and were extended to Victoria, Oak Bay, and Esquimalt in 1975. Many homeowners were obviously interested in converting their dwellings as the Department received over some 1,200 inquiries in 1974 alone about the program. Rigid municipal zoning and building by-laws were, however, major obstacles and only 43 applications for the loans were approved in 1975. Value committed was $576,000. In 1974, 17 applications were approved and $258,000 was committed during the first six months (July to December) of the program. Approximately $834,000 for a total of 60 home conversion loans were paid out from the Provincial Home Acquisition Fund. _T I At Ken Wright and Gordon Macham. Fred Berg Provincial Home-owner Grant and School Tax Removal and Resource Grant The Department administers the Provincial Home-owner Grant, introduced in 1967, and the School Tax Removal and Resource Grant. The home-owner grant, paid to each eligible home-owner and first applied against the local school tax levy, was up to $200, with an additional grant of $50 or a total of $250, to resident homeowners age 65 and over. Total Provincial Home-owner Grant payments in fiscal year 1974/75 were $96,870,018, an increase of $7,951,529 over 1973/74 payments. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING Z 21 An estimated $87,182,850 of the home-owner grants awarded was applied to local school taxes levied in 1974. The balance of $9,687,168 was applied to reduce other local property tax levies. The School Tax Removal and Resource Grant introduced in 1974 provided a payment of up to 20 per cent of the excess of school taxes after a deduction of the home-owner grant to a maximum of $40 and a minimum of $30. The School Tax Removal and Resource Grant in 1975 was 40 per cent of the amount of school taxes in excess of the basic ($200) home-owner grant with a minimum of $30 and a maximum of $80. Total School Tax Removal and Resource Grant payments in fiscal year 1974/75 were $14,905,208. As a result of the two property tax relief programs, the Provincial Homeowner Grant and the School Tax Removal and Resource Grant, many British Columbia home-owners paid a minimum property tax of $1 for local government services, including education. Applications for these annual grants were made on the property tax bill. Provincial Home Acquisition Grants and Loans The Provincial Home Acquisition Grant and Loan Program, established in 1967, serves as a catalyst in the production of new homes through home- ownership. The Department offered a grant of up to $1,000 or a second mortgage loan of $5,000 for a new dwelling, and a grant of $500 or a second mortgage loan of $2,500 for an older dwelling to persons who have been living and renting respectively in British Columbia for two years before the date of purchase. An annual refund of 10 per cent (up to $50) of the principal and interest payments was allowed for regular repayments of second mortgage loans, making an effective rate on a $5,000 25-year loan of 7.5 per cent. Monthly average applications in 1975 reflected the financial climate. The lack of available first mortgage funds and the high interest rate of these mortgages slowed down both house sales and construction. This directly affected mortgage and grant applications. Z 22 BRITISH COLUMBIA Marion Price Harry Rounds There were 32,057 applications made in 1975, or an average of 2,671 per month. The monthly average for 1974 was 2,768. There were 10,585 applications for housing grants totalling $6.5 million and 15,670 second mortgage loans valued at $59.1 million approved in 1975. As of December 31,1975, approximately $74 million from the Provincial Home Acquisition Fund was approved for 1 15,000 housing grants and $280.2 million for 52,772 second mortgage loans in effect with a total balance outstanding of $1 84.67 million. Renters' Assistance The Elderly Citizen Renters Grant Act was introduced in 1972 to assist residents over age 64 living in rental accommodation for a minimum of one year immediately preceding application. In 1974 the program was extended to include all renters in British Columbia under the Renters Resource Grant Act. In 1974, grants were $30 for renters under the age of 65 and $80 for renters over 65. By a 1975 amendment to the Income Tax Act, the Province introduced RentAid, the British Columbia Renters' Tax Credit Program. A maximum of $ 1 00 RentAid for eligible renters over 16 years of age was claimable in the 1975 Federal income tax return form. The 1975 grant was $100 less 1 per cent of taxable income, with no grant exceeding 10 per cent of rent paid in 1975, except for renters over age 65, where the minimum grant is $80. As an interim measure, the Elderly Citizen Renters Grant Act was reinstated in 1975 to provide payment of an $80 grant in calendar year 1975 to renters over age 65. As of December 31,1975, 42,140 persons 65 years and over received the $80 grant and resulted in a payment of $3.2 million. The renters' assistance program payments since 1972 now total over $16.3 million.
