Islands Trust Act and affordable housing legislative changes discussed

governance · 2018-12-18 · Islands Trust area

The Islands Trust Act has been amended multiple times, including proposed changes in 2018 to enable affordable housing agreements and services. The Local Trust Committee supports affordable housing projects like Denman Green to meet community needs.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
