Factors that Encourage and Impede Missing Middle housing on Vancouver Island

Missing Middle Housing (MMH) encompasses several moderate density housing types which offer similar features to a single detached home, while reducing costs to the buyer, reducing the environmental footprint and reducing the amount of land used. Although many Municipalities on Vancouver Island are beginning to encourage MMH, there are still relatively few of these homes being built. The proposed research will identify factors that encourage and impeded the development of MMH on Vancouver Island. The outcome of this research will be a technical report and a list of recommendations that will help facilitate the partner organization in the development of MMH. A publishable research paper will also be completed.
