Engagement is now open for the Ways to Achieve Attainable Market Housing (WAAMH) project, launched to help address growing housing challenges, especially for Priority Housing Groups (PHGs) such as young adults and families, local workers, seniors over 75, and people with accessibility needs.
Housing ideas are being gathered from the public, staff, advisory committees and Council, and each proposal will be scored using the criteria and support of PHG’s. Feasibility profiles will then be developed for the highest-scoring solutions.
WAAMH will develop actionable recommendations and options for housing initiatives to consider both the community’s housing need and the practical realities of market housing development in Qualicum Beach. This includes Town policy alignment, priority housing groups, the availability of land, local market conditions, and financial feasibility.
