Local seniors will soon have more options for affordable, accessible housing with the construction of a new 44-unit rental apartment building.
Cedar Terrace will be located at 2230 Quilchena Ave. on provincially owned land, and will offer studio, one-bedroom and accessible apartments within a four-storey building.
“These new homes will help seniors live independently and stay connected to their community,” said David Eby, Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Housing.
“Providing homes people can afford in every corner of the province is our goal, and today’s announcement is great news for these seniors and for the broader community.”
The new homes for seniors will be operated by ASK Wellness Society, and will be for seniors with low and moderate incomes. ASK will be receiving approximately $4.7 million form the Province’s Building BC: Community Housing Fund.
