2024 Housing Needs Report
A comprehensive update to the Saanich Housing Needs Report (HNR) has been undertaken, to provide a current assessment of existing and anticipated future housing needs within the District. The 2024 HNR fulfills the Local Government Act requirements for Interim Housing Needs Reports (as per recent amendments to the Act). It identifies the number of housing units needed for 5 and 20 years following the 2021 Census, and additionally presents updated population and dwelling statistics; population and household projections; actions taken by the District since the last HNR; and statements regarding key areas of housing need. The 2024 HNR was received by Council on November 18, 2024.
Work will be undertaken in 2025 to ensure alignment between the findings in the 2024 HNR and the Official Community Plan and other key Saanich policies and bylaws.
