Premier David Eby has named former Victoria mayor Lisa Helps as his advisor on housing solutions.
Helps will work with BC Minister of Housing Ravi Kahlon, stakeholders, and partners to help design and develop the “BC Builds” program, an initiative to build housing for middle-income families, individuals and seniors.
In the announcement, Eby said, “The current reality is that many people in our province struggle to find housing, even if they earn a good income. I’m very pleased that Lisa Helps has agreed to use her years of leadership to help us work on innovative solutions, like BC Builds, to make it easier for people to find a good place to live in their communities.”
