City of Delta
DELTA – The City of Delta is proud to have launched the Home Suite Home Program, creating more safe and affordable housing options across Delta.
This innovative new initiative is designed to encourage homeowners with existing secondary suites to bring their properties into compliance with the BC Building Code, opening up more much-needed housing for individuals and families in Delta communities.
Through Home Suite Home, newly created Secondary Suite Ambassadors will guide homeowners through a streamlined building permit applications process. In addition to removing the requirement for a Secondary Suite Rental Permit, the City is also waiving the Pre-Application Service Fee and Building Permit Application Fees for a limited time, making it more cost-effective for homeowners to rent out legal suites.
“I’m incredibly proud of the work that Delta is doing to address housing affordability in our city and Home Suite Home is an important part of that endeavour,” said Mayor George V. Harvie. “This initiative offers a creative approach to utilizing existing housing, providing more options for those who need it. I encourage Delta residents to take this opportunity to make safer, quality housing available to our community.”
Over the next eight months, Secondary Suite Ambassadors are expected to be contacting more than 1,500 homeowners through the program.
Those interested in participating or learning more about the program are encouraged to visit Delta.ca/HomeSuiteHome.
