Landlords > Surveys > BC Non-Profit Housing Survey
Between January and May 2008, data was collected for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon as part of the BC Non-Profit Housing Association Asset Analysis project. 192 providers of non-profit housing responded to an extensive survey that included questions regarding smoke-free options and knowledge within the non-profit housing sector. Data collection is still ongoing, and the results presented in this report represent the findings from this preliminary dataset.
Survey Highlights to Date
- One-quarter of public housing providers ban smoking in the entire building, including units and balconies
- Over two in five are considering adopting a smoke-free policy in some or all of their units in the future
- About three in five receive complaints about SHS on a monthly basis (20%) or less than a monthly basis (40%)
- Close to one-third of housing providers are most concerned about the financial costs of going smoke-free
- Close to one-quarter don’t know that it’s legal to adopt a no-smoking policy in individual units, and over one-third don’t know it’s legal to ban smoking in outdoor balconies
