The
administration of existing and construction of new units is
the direct responsibility of BC Housing to which the ministry
will transfer $139 million in 2003/04, $142 million in 2004/05
and $142 million in 2005/2006. Housing and subsidies are funded
under partnerships with other ministries, the federal government
and other sources (e.g., Ministry of Health Services, local
governments) and delivered through partnerships with the private
sector. Targets for 2004/05 and 2005/06 are subject to change
pending the outcome of the Core Services Review. Baseline
number is as at March 31, 2003.

The

achieved must be conducted at least two years after stakeholders

is targeted to be adopted in 2004/05.
