What many people value about living on Bowen Island, in addition to its simple island lifestyle and natural beauty, is the diversity of people living here. As housing prices soar and rents increase, Bowen is losing its young people, artists, seniors, single parents and hundreds of other valued citizens who can no longer afford a place to live. Many small businesses are now facing staffing problems because there is little affordable housing for employees.
The Bowen Community Housing Association (BCHA) was created in response to the growing problem of unaffordable housing on Bowen Island. The overall purpose of this non-profit organization is to take action to maintain the diversity of Island residents and lifestyles through the creation of an adequate supply of affordable rental and purchase housing options.
There are many action steps involved and many have been taken so far. To learn more about the steps BCHA are taking, please peruse the various pages, articles, posts and video clips posted on the website.

“Life relies on diversity to give it the possibility of
adapting to changing conditions…
Where there is diversity in an organization, innovative
solutions are created all the time, just because different
people do things differently…
Almost always in a diverse organization the solution the
organization needs is already being practiced
somewhere in that system.”
