What happened
The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen board unanimously voted to defer a decision regarding whether residents could live in recreational vehicles or tiny homes year-round. The discussion followed a staff report examining housing options for those who lost homes in the Bald Range wildfire. The issue initially arose from requests for safety standards that would permit year-round RV living, before expanding to tiny homes.

Why it matters
The deferral pushes the matter until after the October 17 municipal election when a new board will be sworn in. The discussion is focused on how to create housing options while maintaining safety standards for residents facing financial pressure after the fire.
