The Housing Endowment Fund (HEF) was established by the Province of B.C. with a $250 million capital endowment to encourage new ideas and support innovative housing solutions for British Columbians most in need. The annual investment revenue of approximately $10 million a year will be paid out in keeping with the mandate and purpose of the Housing Endowment Fund. The intent is to allocate available revenue on an ongoing basis each year.

The objective of the Housing Endowment Fund is to generate new ideas and support innovative housing solutions that address housing needs not adequately served through existing housing programs, and are sustainable without ongoing operating funding from the endowment fund. Preference is given to housing initiatives that are consistent with the provincial housing strategy, Housing Matters BC , and address the needs of households with low to moderate incomes.

Initiatives must also have strong partnership contributions from local government, community organizations, private and non-profit sectors, and other government agencies.
