The province of British Columbia, in collaboration with the Nechako View Senior Citizens’ Home Society, revealed plans for the construction of 28 new residences tailored for families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.
The proposed housing units are slated to be located at 2824 Burrard Ave in Vanderhoof.
This announcement on March 22 , was part of the selection of 15 new projects across the interior and northern regions of B.C. under the third intake of the Building BC: Community Housing Fund (CHF).
These forthcoming projects aim to deliver a total of 584 affordable rental places to individuals, families, seniors, persons with disabilities, and Indigenous communities in the province.
Provincial Minister of Housing Ravi Kahlon said through their Homes for People action plan they are accelerating housing supply across the province to meet the diverse needs of people.
“Whether you live in a big city or a remote coastal village, access to affordable and suitable housing is important in forming strong communities. That is why we are working in partnership to ensure homes are built for people in the communities they call home.”
The CHF is a $3.3-billion investment by the province, with the goal of building more than 20,000 affordable rental homes for people with moderate and low-income households by 2032.
