BC Rent Bank - Locations
BC Rent Bank is a project of Vancity Community Foundation, and funded by the Province of BC. The mandate of the BC Rent Bank is:
To support the funding of existing rent banks;
To provide support and seed funding for the establishment of new rent banks in BC; and,
To create the infrastructure necessary to support a potential future province-wide rent bank system or service.
BC Rent Bank's goal is that regardless of where you live in the province, you can be supported to help maintain your housing. This goal has not yet been achieved, and establishing a province-wide infrastructure is our strategic focus over the next two years of the project.
BC Rent Bank does not directly provide rent loans to tenants. These loans are currently administered through local rent banks, operated by non-profits in communities around BC.
A rent bank is a homelessness prevention tool that focuses on low to moderate income renters. Rent banks serve those facing an unexpected crisis, and loans help to maintain housing or utilities and, in some cases, help people gain access housing.
