**About the Rental Protection Fund**

The Rental Protection Fund is a non-profit organization created to safeguard affordable housing, building a more sustainable and equitable future for British Columbians. Our mission is to slow the loss of existing, occupied rental homes by supporting their acquisition by non-profit affordable housing providers.

Led by the community housing sector and backed by a $500 million provincial investment, the Fund is focused on creating housing stability and keeping homes affordable.

At the Rental Protection Fund, you’ll find a passionate, team driven by a unique social purpose mandate that draws from diverse sectors, including real estate, urban planning, public policy, and geography, all united by a shared commitment to impact. We’re big on bold ideas, curious minds, and creative, tech-forward approaches to preserving the affordability that already exists.
