For Planners and Local Government

What We Do for Planners & Government

For planners, enabling gentle density housing comes with unique challenges, depending on the size and context of the community. Small Housing has worked alongside both small towns and big cities across British Columbia to help develop policies that support missing middle housing.

Small Housing helps communities by providing:

Missing middle zoning bylaw bootcamp workshops
Zoning and missing middle policy advisory
Proforma analysis and gentle density feasibility engagement
Localized industry training and support
Regulatory process reviews
Political engagement with policymakers (provincial & national)
Cross-sector solutions to increase housing supply
First Nations stories of practice
Industry and municipal research analysis
Community engagement and planning events
