# Community Amenity Contribution Policy
Community Amenity Contributions (CACs) are monetary or in-kind contributions provided by developers to help offset the costs of amenities and services associated with new residential development that requires a change in land use or density.

### Where CAC Funds Go
**CACs are directed into two reserve funds:**
* Community Amenity Contribution Reserve Fund - supports public amenities such as playgrounds, trails, cycling infrastructure, public art, events, and recreational upgrades.
* Affordable Housing Reserve Fund - supports the creation of affordable housing in Gibsons.
### Key Features of the Current Policy
* $5,000 CAC target for all multi-family developments (including duplexes, triplexes, townhouses, and apartments).
* Higher contribution requirements apply:
+ When the proposed development includes more than 10 units.
+ When located within the Harbour Plan Area.
* Allocation of CAC funds:
+ 44% to the Affordable Housing Reserve Fund
+ 56% to the Community Amenity Reserve Fund
* The policy will be reviewed one year after adoption, and then every 2 to 5 years to ensure it remains current and effective.
