Councillor Loughton is passionate about creating practical solutions for housing, affordability, and homelessness. She kept every promise she made to Victorians in 2022 and is focused on results.
With your support, Councillor Loughton will expand her leadership to the CRD Board to better coordinate regional services for homelessness and the critical issues facing our communities.
Regarding homelessness, Loughton firmly believes that the provincial and federal governments don’t need to build new; they need to make better use of the housing stock we already have.
To achieve this, she is driving initiatives like Positive Flow, a program that provides light support and provincial rent supplements to people in supportive housing who are ready for independent living but priced out of market rents. This creates a chain reaction where people in shelters move into supportive housing, which frees up space in shelters for those on the street, hence the term "positive flow." This practical step could free up an estimated 100 units of supportive housing for those still on the street in Victoria, cutting visible homelessness in half.
