Home Suite Home – Housing Info Fair

HOME SUITE HOME is a one-stop opportunity to learn everything you need to know about adding a long-term rental to your property either by utilizing an empty suite or auxiliary building, or constructing a new one.

It will take place at the Roberts Creek Hall on Nov 12th from 12:30pm to 4:30pm. The full spectrum of expertise will be on site:

• Home Renovation Contractors • Alternative Housing Providers • Modular Housing Providers • Solar Energy Systems • Rainwater Harvesting Systems • Local Government • Property Managers • Financial Advisors “It’s going to be a fantastic event with all the expertise in the same room,” said Kelly Foley (Cover the Coast). “It is also a great example of local government, private sector and non-profi t organizations coming together to off er tangible solutions to the housing crisis.” With the new zoning bylaws implemented by the District of Sechelt and the SCRD, there are some great opportunities to add secondary suites to residential properties.

There is a critical shortage of housing on the Sunshine Coast and it is having a devastating impact on local businesses, as well as essential service organizations. Nurses, teachers, fi rst responders, social service providers, and civil servants are unable to fi nd housing and are declining off ers of work or moving off the Coast.

This event aims to increase the number of long-term rentals by supporting property owners in developing and renting out their secondary suites. Work is also underway to support the development of new commercial rental buildings, but most of these won’t be built for another 2 to 3 years.

Cover the Coast is a project of the Sunshine Coast Aff ordable Housing Society. This is the fi rst in a series of initiatives that aims to increase rental inventory and connect landlords to tenants.
