Report: Vancouver Artist Housing Solutions Lab

October 28, 2024

221A is pleased to announce the completion of the Vancouver Artist Housing Solutions Lab, a research project focused on the challenges of creating affordable housing for artists, and identifying new models for low-income artist households. 

Many artists experience low incomes and unstable employment, making it hard to find housing that meets their needs. The research highlights policy, funding, and capacity gaps that act as barriers to building affordable housing for artists. It also provides recommendations for developing a clear definition of affordable artist housing, along with steps for aligning policy, funding, and regulations to support this unique housing model for artists and cultural workers.
