The City says the Vancouver Housing Development Office was established at the direction of Council to centralize housing delivery.

The page establishes active City housing-delivery and investment work but does not state that investments increase annually in line with CPI.

The City says the Supportive Housing Capital Grant program aims to fund capital improvements for non-profit supportive housing buildings or sites, including small capital projects for existing buildings and amenities.
