Metro Vancouver will consider cutting a housing development fund and zero -waste program at a board meeting on Friday .

The Housing Development Fund provides $50 million in equity over 10 years to support partnerships with member jurisdictions to build housing on public land and to redevelop existing sites to achieve greater density near transit.

The review is part of budget planning for 2026 and attempts by Metro ’s board to look for savings.
