False Creek South Neighbourhood Association
The False Creek South Neighbourhood Association was formally established early in the development of the community. FCSNA is an elected body with representatives from all of the housing co-operatives and strata enclaves in the area, including those leasing land, or water, from the City, as well as most of those on freehold properties. We recently expanded our membership to include representatives from enclaves run by non-profit housing societies. Read more here.

RePlan
Of almost 3,000 housing units in False Creek South, about 1,800 are located on leased land owned by the City of Vancouver. One-third of these units are in housing co-ops, one-third non-market rental units, and another third are leasehold strata title units.
The False Creek South Neighbourhood Association created *RePlan in 2010 to work with the City of Vancouver on developing new lease options to preserve the community beyond lease expiry. Most *RePlan volunteers live in the community and devote hundreds of hours of personal time every year on the complex issues involved in lease renewal.
RePlan’s mission is to create a dialogue with the City of Vancouver to establish a process to preserve and enhance the False Creek South community beyond lease end, enabling the community to evolve and diversify in a way that is sustainable for existing residents and the City of Vancouver.
Let’s expand affordable, resilient, mixed-income, mixed-tenure housing communities, like this one. Vancouver needs to protect and create more housing that is community centred, diverse, equitable, inclusive and secure that spans all leasehold housing tenures, including permanent housing for people who have experienced or are at risk of homelessness.
