For more specific information and statistics relating to non-profit housing, see our Basics of the Non-Profit Housing Sector in BC brochure. This handy one-pager offers basic statistics on non-profit housing societies and the buildings and units they provide, as well as a peek at the incredible value held within the sector. This information has been collected through BCNPHA's Asset Analysis project, which has gathered data from three key sources to create the most comprehensive database of non-profit housing providers in BC.

Current research on seniors' housing often doesn't reach housing providers who need it. In response, the BCNPHA has created an archive summarizing relevant research articles focused on seniors’ housing. The archive also provides links to websites from organizations focused on research for seniors and their housing and care providers. Seniors Summaries: Articles and Archives for Providers of Seniors Housing is now accessible on the BCNPHA website.
