Little Mountain Housing Redevelopment
Sign Now
Little Mountain Housing (LMH) is slated for redevelopment. Fundamental issues pertaining to redevelopment of this precious public asset should be subjected to thorough public scrutiny and consultation.
BC Housing has started relocating tenants prior to a consultation process, without a plan for redevelopment or a guarantee that tenants can return to a comparable unit.
The Riley Park/South Cambie (RPSC) Community Vision, approved by City Council in 2005, contains Directions for public involvement in the development of large sites, which include LMH (see the back of this page).
There is a critical need for low-income, non-market housing in Vancouver. No existing housing should remain vacant or be demolished unnecessarily. LMH is a flourishing family-oriented community where people depend on each other for many needs, including child care; forcing tenants to relocate displaces an entire community.
Large projects around Nat Bailey Stadium and at Hillcrest Park, including an Olympic size Destination pool, Curling rink, etc., will bring a major influx of traffic, making the timing and scale of LMH redevelopment a matter of concern for the entire neighbourhood.
We, the undersigned, urge you to
1. Stop the relocation process until a plan for phased construction to minimize disruption and dislocation is in place.
2. Start the consultation and commit to a full, fair and open process that includes the community as an equal partner in all decisions affecting the sites redevelopment.
3. Adhere to the RPSC CityPlan Community Vision.
4. Achieve a mixed community with increased low-income housing.

My mother applied to get into Little Mountain in January of 1963. The unwritten policy and the attitude of the day was that Little Mountain was not open to minorities, and maybe she should apply to Raymur Project (talk about hindsight). My mother fought t

We're finished with watching the poor and disabled systematically killed off so the government won't have to take care of them. This is unacceptable.

The need for affordable housing is already critical. Extended vacancies / relocations are unconscionable. Disrupting the informal supports within a close-knit community is comparable to losing one's family. Change is needed, but land profits should not ov

In addition to being much-needed social housing, LMP has lots of great green space, Close to schools, community facilities, inc. ice rink and pool, summer camps, and on a bus route--what a great place to bring up kids who may be temporarily disadvantaged.

Re-open Little Mountain Housing. It could be a world showcase for sustainability and social housing with community gardens, kids' recreation areas, etc.
