A “bold move” to build affordable housing on 12 city-owned sites in Vancouver has stalled 18 months after the provincial government announced the plan to provide more shelter for the poor.

Housing Minister Rich Coleman promises six of the projects will proceed soon, but is offering no timeline for the others.

A Vancouver councillor insists all 12 projects, plus two more, are supposed to be fast-tracked to deal with the city’s affordable housing crisis.
