After residents of RidgeView Place were told to move out after the building was deemed structurally unsafe, they can now apply for financial assistance for rent and other expenses. Funds of up to $2,000 are available based on the needs and income of the residents.
The city has announced new short-term supports from the province and the owner of RidgeView Place, an apartment building whose occupancy permit was revoked earlier this week due to concerns about its structural safety.
An apartment building that was evacuated in 2019 due to safety concerns has been deemed unlivable again. Tenants have been left scrambling after both the building owner, and the city of Langford, said there are serious safety concerns with the structure itself.
