Vancouver city council votes 6-3 in favour of Mayor Ken Sim ’s plan to stop new supportive housing developments.

Sim : “For too long, Vancouver has shouldered more than its fair share of the region's supportive housing, yet conditions in the Downtown Eastside continue to deteriorate.

The pause does not apply to housing for seniors, women and families, youth aging out of care, health care-related housing, or social housing with occasional supports.
