KAMLOOPS, B.C. – Multiple housing projects and shelters are being planned for Kamloops, B.C.
A BC Builds site owned by the B.C. Ministry of Citizens’ Services has been zoned to support approximately 200 homes for families and individuals with middle incomes in the community and proposals are being sought for a residential developer through the BC Builds Housing Development Opportunities website, a release said.
Another initiative involves two housing projects selected through the recently announced intake of the Community Housing Fund to provide people with affordable housing. The homes will provide approximately 80 individuals, families, seniors and people living with disabilities with affordable rental rates for those with low or moderate incomes.
Two modular buildings will be installed at 769-845 Mission Flats Rd. for those experiencing homelessness and will include 98 units of supportive housing. The units will replace the 54 units of modular housing located at 805 Mission Flats Rd.
A 40-bed, year-round shelter mainly for seniors and older adults experiencing homelessness is also being developed at 1055 Glenfair Dr. and B.C. is also working with community partners to open a 22-bed, second-stage transition house in the community for women and children leaving violence.
“More than 500 new homes and shelter spaces mark the biggest investment in housing to date in Kamloops. Through our Homes for People action plan, homes for people with middle and low-to-moderate incomes, and for people at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness are being delivered in Kamloops so people have a safe and affordable place to live,” B.C. Minister of Housing Ravi Kahlon said in a statement.
