Housing Targets

The Housing Target Order set a five-year housing target of 1,069 net new completed housing units for the District of Squamish. The Order is effective September 1, 2025 and ends August 21, 2030.

 

The housing targets reflect 75% of the Province’s total established housing need for the District of Squamish and represent a minimum number of net new completed housing units required to comply with the Order. Net new housing units are measured as completed units minus demolished units.

 

Housing targets are measured annually and cumulatively over the five-year period of the Order, with a gradual increase in housing delivery expected each year.
