The mayor of Prince George is one of five municipal leaders to join a new task force aimed at streamlining the development and approval of modular homes as part of the effort to boost BC’s affordable housing supply. Modular BC, a non-profit advocacy group, announced the task force in Kelowna on Friday, Nov. 22. Modular homes are built in a factory-like setting rather than constructed on-site. The separate components, or modules, are then transported to the home’s site and assembled. “Municipalities across British Columbia are increasingly being called upon to deliver critical housing supply at prices people can afford,” said Modular BC spokesperson Paul Binotto in a release… According to Binotto, modular homes can be built in a couple of months instead of a year.
