We are in a housing emergency — not just a crisis. Seniors are living with mice, disabled people are couch surfing, and thousands are waiting years with no updates, no options, and no hope.
And who’s in charge of this disaster?
👉 Ravi Kahlon, BC’s Housing Minister — a man with zero experience in housing, planning, or social policy.
He’s a former banker and an Olympian field hockey player. That’s great for sports and finance — but what does it have to do with fixing a collapsing housing system?
Nothing.
And it shows.
🔍 What’s Going On?
-
BC Housing waitlist has exploded.
Over 14,000 seniors are on the list. Many have been waiting five to ten years, with no updates. -
“Affordable housing” is a scam.
Most so-called "below-market" units are still out of reach for anyone on a fixed income or disability. -
People are being passed over by those with connections or “inside access.”
This is NOT a fair or transparent process — it’s a cruel lottery that favors the privileged.
💸 Scammy, Broken, and Dangerous
What BC Housing is doing feels like fraud. They take your application, give you hope, then disappear.
- No accountability.
- No transparency.
- No priority given to the most vulnerable.
All while developers get incentives, politicians cut ribbons, and the rest of us suffer.
This is not just mismanagement — this is systemic neglect.
🧠 We Need Real Leadership
Housing is a complex issue. It needs someone with:
- Knowledge of urban planning
- Experience in housing justice or poverty work
- Compassion for those living on the edge
We don’t need photo ops and empty promises.
We need results — and the current minister isn’t delivering.
📢 Our Demands:
- Immediate investigation into BC Housing’s allocation process
- Replacement of Ravi Kahlon with someone who understands the crisis and has relevant experience
- Transparent data on waitlists, outcomes, and how decisions are made
- Real affordability based on actual income, not market trends
- Urgent construction of public and non-profit housing on public land
💬 Closing Thoughts
This isn’t just about “bad management.” It’s about a lack of care for the most vulnerable people in our province.
We deserve a minister who understands what’s at stake.
We deserve a housing system that works.
And our elders, disabled neighbours, and low-income families deserve dignity, not delays.
