Community housing initiatives development case files

  • GR-3634
  • Series
  • 1946 - 2003

The series consists of records which document the provincial government’s activities to support social housing initiatives in localities throughout B.C.

The records relate to the evaluation and processing of applications or proposals received from non-profit sponsors and community housing centres who are requesting funds through grants to develop housing. Community housing initiatives development case files include the proposal or request for a new initiative, and the development, evaluation and on-going administration of new and existing initiatives.

Accession 90-1882 consists of files concerning housing for seniors; in particular, this includes seniors housing projects undertaken by sponsoring societies together with private lenders. The subject matter includes government approvals of the housing projects, and government funding for land acquisition, design, and construction.

Record types include but are not limited to: correspondence, building plans, subdivision plans, financial statements for societies, applications for grants for housing projects, black and white photographs, and news clippings.

The records document the development, implementation, evaluation and on-going administration of subsidized housing programs operated by government and government partnerships, community housing initiatives and tenant support services.

The records were created over a long span of time from 1946 to 2003, and include files created and received by the Office of the Provincial Secretary and Deputy Provincial Secretary, in a time period when the function of supporting sponsors of existing and proposed elderly citizen’s housing fell under the jurisdiction of that government department.

Other departments or ministries responsible included the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Ministry of Lands, Parks and Housing.
