Jean Swanson Wants City Council To 'Recommit' To Affordable Rental Rates At 58 West Hastings


COPE Coun. Jean Swanson is taking a years-long effort aimed at ensuring that housing built at 58 West Hastings rents entirely at pension and welfare rates to next week's council meeting.

Swanson has a motion on notice for the Nov. 13 meeting calling on the new council to “recommit” to those rates. She also wants council to direct staff to report back within a month on what funding is required to achieve the 100 per cent welfare/pension rate, with at least three options for sources of revenue.
