More supportive housing is on its way to Prince George.
57 affordable rental homes will be located at 1919 17th Avenue aimed at families, seniors, and those with disabilities.
According to the province, it’s through a joint effort with the Aboriginal Housing Society.
“These new homes mean that thousands of families, seniors, and Indigenous peoples in our province will enjoy safe, new, affordable homes,” said David Eby, Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Housing.
“These homes are part of the nearly 30,000 affordable homes now complete or underway in every corner of the province, building on the significant momentum as we recover from more than a decade of underinvestment in housing by the old government. We’re making good progress in addressing the housing crisis for all British Columbians, and there’s more to do.”
In March, a proposal to deliver an additional 50 homes for people experiencing homelessness at 855 1st Avenue is in the works between the city and the BC government.
Over 24-hundred new units are coming to those with moderate or low incomes in 39 communities across the province.
