Nestled next to the proposed UBC Okanagan downtown campus will be a six-storey, 68-unit affordable housing building.
The site at 555 Fuller Ave. is where Pathways Abilities Society used to be located and is across the alley from the UBCO site on Doyle Avenue. That building was used for an emergency winter shelter for the homeless last winter.
The land is owned by the City of Kelowna but the housing is being funded by the federal and provincial governments. Those two levels of government are contributing a total of approximately $12.63 million to the project.
