Almost 100 new rental homes are coming to Richmond for people with low to moderate incomes.
"These projects will mean new, affordable homes for a wide range of people—from seniors on fixed incomes to growing families and people with disabilities," said Attorney General David Eby, the minister responsible for housing. "There's a lot more to do, and I look forward to working with the non-profit housing sector and all our partners to continue delivering the homes people need."
Among the 16 projects province-wide are those at 3699 Sexsmith Rd. that will feature 11 homes for families and seniors and be built in partnership with More Than A Roof Housing; and at 5491 No. 2 Rd., where 80 homes for seniors, families and individuals living independently with mental health challenges will be constructed. It is a partnership with Pathways Clubhouse Society of Richmond and the City of Richmond, with construction expected to start in July 2021.
The request for proposals for the current intake of the Community Housing Fund, which launched in May 2020, is open until mid-January 2021. Approximately 3,000 new affordable homes are expected to be funded this intake—the second since 2017.
