Carney Admits Housing Program Was Miscommunicated

Prime Minister Mark Carney admits his government missed the mark on explaining a bold new housing initiative in B.C., designed to turn 2,200 unsold condos into affordable rent-to-own homes. Facing criticism for lack of detail, Carney clarified the federal contribution is $145 million — 10% of the $1.45 billion total — targeting “distressed” units at discounted prices. The plan, proposed by B.C. Premier David Eby, aims to help first-time buyers build equity without needing a down payment, while Carney emphasized developers didn’t lobby for it and the program’s goal is genuine affordability, not corporate gain. With over 4,000 unsold condos in Vancouver and prices projected to drop sharply by mid-2027, this move could be a game-changer in tackling the housing crisis.
