We have received new direction from City Council on October 5, 2020. The direction is for staff to conduct additional engagement on the Secured Rental Policy over the next few months as part of the Vancouver Plan. This direction means that we do not anticipate providing a report to Council until that additional engagement is complete, and implementation of the Secured Rental Policy in low density areas would be deferred to at least spring of 2021.
We will provide an update once more information is available. In the interim, we want to thank those that have participated in the process so far and hope that you will continue to provide your input.

In March 2020 we hosted a series of Public Information Sessions across the City. These sessions provided a chance for members of the public to ask questions about the policy and provide comment on the new rental zones. Six of these sessions were held, while the final session (Sunset Community Centre) was cancelled as a result of COVID-19.
Staff have reviewed the comments from March and conducted additional technical analysis. We are now proposing some changes to the Secured Rental Policy for low-density areas to make it easier to understand and providing some additional detail on the new rental zones.
We are providing another opportunity for public comment from July 10 to October 4, 2020. The purpose is to provide:
- An opportunity for past participants to see and comment on proposed changes to the policy and the new rental zones.
- An opportunity for questions and input from those who did not comment previously or could not comment previously as a result of COVID-19.
Your comments will be considered as we refine our recommendations and prepare a report for Council’s consideration in the fall.
A summary of the proposed changes to the policy can be found here.
A description of the new rental zones can be found here.
More information on why we need more secured rental housing can be found in our March engagement materials here.

We have updated the map showing the locations in which the policy would apply. The map is a general illustration, and is meant to be used along with diagrams to identify which blocks would and would not be eligible under the policy. The map and diagrams can be found here.
If you would like more information on whether your property meets the requirements of the policy please email us at housingpolicy@vancouver.ca.
