History

A crown corporation of the Province of British Columbia, its main purpose was to enable the Province to make use of federal funding with respect to rental housing units operated by the provincial government throughout B.C. The chairman of the Board of Directors (in 1976-1977) was the Minister of Housing.

In 1976-1977, the British Columbia Housing Corporation was one of three agencies under the jurisdiction of the Department of Housing. The other two were Dunhill Development Corporation Limited, and the British Columbia Housing Management Commission.

Acquired on January 10, 1974, Dunhill's prime responsibility was the assembly and servicing of land for housing developments. The crown corporation had four divisions: Land Development Division, Property Management Division, Operations Division, Marketing Division.

The British Columbia Housing Management Commission was established in 1967 to manage public housing. At the end of 1975, the commission had a portfolio of 6,845 units. The federal/provincial rent supplement program for tenants in government-owned, and non-profit housing projects was also administered by the Commission.
