A public-private partnership model is used to create all new subsidized housing. Developments are designed and built by the private sector, and owned and managed by private, non-profit or co-operative housing providers.

During the development phase, BC Housing acts as a facilitator, and when the development is complete, often subsidizes ongoing operations and monitors performance.
