BC Non-Profit Housing Association (BCNPHA) was established in 1993 to provide leadership and support to non-profit housing providers in British Columbia. We provide money-saving programs and services for our members, and support the entire sector with research and policy solutions that further the cause of affordable housing throughout BC. As a member-based organization, we deliver professional development opportunities, programs and services that directly support non-profit housing providers and strengthen the entire sector in our shared vision of thriving communities where everyone has an affordable place to call home. We serve our members with programs and services that strengthen their operations, and we raise the capacity of the sector with advocacy, education and support.
A current BCNPHA initiative is the Transforming Energy Use in the Non-Profit Housing Sector (TERNS) project. Over the past decade, BCNPHA has been working with non-profit housing providers, funders, and policymakers to optimize the performance and energy efficiency of non-profit housing across BC. BCNPHA's efforts have brought about measurable change in reducing GHG emissions and produced energy cost savings for providers and tenants. The purpose of TERNS is to expand the non-profit housing sector's capacity to achieve even higher levels of energy efficiency, lessen the overall environmental impact of the sector, and ensure tenants in non-profit buildings live in affordable, comfortable, efficient homes.
