Clearer, stronger, and more connected: the new Rental Protection Fund website makes it easier to see how the Rental Protection Fund is protecting affordability across B.C.
The Rental Protection Fund was created with a clear mission: to protect the affordable rental housing that exists today and to strengthen the community housing sector for the future. As the Fund continues to grow, so does our commitment to stewardship, growth, and measurable impact — values reflected in our newly refreshed website.
This update isn’t just a new look. It’s about helping partners, governments, and the public more easily understand how the Fund works, access key resources, and see the impact of preservation through stories and data.
"As we grow, it’s important that people can clearly see not only what we do, but why it matters — the homes protected, the partnerships built, and the long-term affordability secured through this work,” shared Katie Maslechko, CEO of the Rental Protection Fund. "The new site brings that collective effort into focus, showing how partners across sectors are keeping housing stable, and affordable for more than 3,000 British Columbians — and sharing the stories behind that impact.”
Designed to Highlight Community Housing Sector Leadership
The refreshed site features streamlined navigation and a new structure organized around how visitors can engage with the Fund:
- About outlines who we are — our history, mission, vision, and values — and how we operate within the broader community housing ecosystem.
- Impact highlights why protecting affordability matters and how acquisitions led by the community housing sector are creating thriving, resilient communities.
- How It Works provides a clear, step-by-step overview of the Fund’s process, from pre-qualification to acquisition, helping existing and future applicants understand what to expect at every stage and offering detailed eligibility criteria.
- News introduces an Announcement Gallery and News hub, where new acquisitions, media coverage, and partner stories will be shared regularly.
- Resources offers an expanded library of FAQs and policy tools, including the Tenant Policy Atlas, to support data-driven decision-making.
More Ways to See the Impact
The redesigned Impact section showcases how the Fund’s investments translate into real outcomes for renters and communities. Visitors can explore stories of protectoin across the province — from seniors in Langley to newcomer families in New Westminster— alongside new data that illustrates the Fund’s growing reach.
These numbers represent not only secured affordability, but also stability and a sense of relief for thousands of people across British Columbia who no longer have to worry about being forced to leave their homes.
New Content Areas
Several new or expanded sections provide deeper insight into how the Fund delivers lasting impact:
- Secured Affordability highlights the innovative approaches to affordability made possible through community housing stewardship.
- Sustainable Legacy described the Fund's Renewal Grants and the energy-efficient retrofits that extend the lifespan of affordable homes.
- Capacity Building explores how investments help non-profits build equity, scale operations, and strengthen their long-term sustainability.
- Values-Driven Investment demonstrates how the Fund delivers measurable returns — achieving long-term affordability at roughly half the cost of traditional rent subsidies.
Each section includes updated visuals, case studies, and partner quotes that bring this work to life.
Accessibility, Clarity, and Future Growth
The refreshed site structure makes it easier than ever to navigate between eligibility criteria, governance details, and eligibility information. The homepage now features stronger visuals and clear pathways to connect through Get Involved and Contact Us.
As the Fund evolves, the website will continue to grow — adding more impact stories, interactive data tools, and expanded resources to reflect the ongoing work of preserving affordability across British Columbia.
