PURPOSE To summarize 2005 GVHC vacancy rates and forecast 2006 trends. 2. CONTEXT 2005 in Review: Vacancy statistics are presented to the GVHC Board at the end of each quarter. To understand the significance of the statistics, they are presented by management area, by portfolio and by municipality. GVHC vacancies dropped progressively during the year (attachment 4) reflecting a focus on vacancy management as a top priority for the corporation. At the present time, average vacancy throughout the GVHC’s properties stands at about 1.5% which is under CMHC’s average of 2.4%, recently revised by CMHC in October to 2.7%. 70% of GVHC tenants pay “lower end of market” (or “LEM”) rents and the remaining 30% are subsidized to varying degrees under different programs to promote balanced affordable housing communities. LEM renters are essentially “market” renters who have other choices in the rental market. The GVHC must therefore compete with other landlords and a focus in 2005 was to improve the condition and visual appeal of the complexes as well as the GVHC’s reputation on maintenance response and quality of repairs. As well, property supervisors and staff went through Customer Service training early in the year to become more customer service oriented. These steps appear to be making a difference. 4th Quarter Vacancy by Portfolio: The GVHC’s housing complexes can be segregated into five different portfolios. A portfolio basically represents a specific partnership arrangement with a senior level of government. Each portfolio is characterized by either an operating agreement with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (“CMHC” – which includes “Section 95” and Section “27” portfolios) or BC Housing Management Commission (BCHMC). One portfolio, comprising two seniors complexes, is a partnership with both BCHMC/CMHC. Finally, the GVHC has several properties that are not under any operating agreement. Attachment 1 provides a summary of vacancy information by portfolio. 4th Quarter Vacancy by Municipality: Vacancy by municipality is shown in Attachment 2. GVHC rates currently compare favourably to CMHC statistics for all municipalities (attachments 3a-3d) with the exception of Vancouver. 4th Quarter Vacancy by Property Management Area: The GVHC has four property management areas, roughly dividing the region into 4 geographical quadrants: NW, NE, SW, and SE. Each area has one Property Supervisor responsible for all aspects of property management activities within that area. Attachments 3a-3d show vacancy in each area, and by municipalitiy in each area. Results for the 4th quarter are strong in all areas. 2006 Vacancy Prognosis: Despite higher levels of rental housing demand due to immigration and in-migration, the overall rental market remains balanced. On the supply side, thousands of condominiums are being built, and some of these find their way onto the rental market. As well, some existing rental units become available for rent as certain tenants make the jump and become first-time home buyers. All in all, the balance of supply and demand will likely result in a continued rental market with vacancies in the 2-3 percent range, on average throughout the GVRD region. 3. ALTERNATIVES Not Applicable. 4. CONCLUSION GVHC vacancy rates in the fourth quarter are low and reflect a steady decrease in 2005. The goal will now be to maintain these rates. Overall, vacancy in 2006 throughout the region should be in the range of 2 to 3 percent.

  • The Work of the Lgbtq Civic Advisory Committee, 2009-14
    Queering Vancouver: The Work of the lgbtq Civic Advisory Committee, 2009-14 Catherine Murray* he proposition, so often asserted, that Vancouver is an avant- garde paradise for people who identify as lgbtq (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and queer) merits careful examination.1 What evidence is usually cited? Social movement historians confirm that T lgbtq the city was the site of the first organization – the Association for Social Knowledge (ask) – that influenced national and regional social movements; that it developed a “thick,” active, and diverse associative structure of local gay, lesbian, and transgender rights and service groups; that it was the site of transformative protests or events; and that it is today well ensconced within Pacific Northwest and global social networks.2 Its lgbtq groups have achieved a distinctive record of groundbreaking struggles – even if there is as yet little agreement among social historians * I am indebted to the International Women’s World (2011) panel, the members of which discussed the first draft of this article; to Sarah Sparks, research assistant and MA graduate in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at Simon Fraser University; the constructive anonymous reviewers from BC Studies; and, especially, BC Studies’ editor Graeme Wynn. 1 Manon Tremblay, ed., Queer Mobilizations: Social Movement Activism and Canadian Public Policy (Vancouver: ubc Press, 2015), 31. Like Tremblay, I use the term “queer” to designate all non-heterosexual people. 2 For queer urban history of Vancouver, see Anne-Marie Bouthillette, “Queer and Gendered Housing: A Tale of Two Neighborhoods in Vancouver,” in Queers in Space: Communities, Public Spaces, Sites of Resistance, ed.
