Five dozen units of affordable rentals are coming to Kamloops.
Construction has just gotten underway on 60 new affordable rental homes, which will be located at 445 5th Ave.
"These homes will help support healthy neighbourhoods by providing a range of accessible, affordable housing for a diverse group of people with mixed incomes and will benefit the community for years to come,” said Selina Robinson, minister of housing.
The housing is a reality thanks to a partnership between the provincial government, City of Kamloops and the John Howard Society of the Thompson Region (JHSTR).
Units will be managed by JHSTR, which is a local non-profit that often manages affordable rental housing and works with people living with mental health issues.
"The John Howard Society has been operating housing safely and successfully with a well-experienced housing team," said Lindsay Lord, CEO, JHSTR.
"The agency staff and board of directors are pleased to be working alongside both the Province and the city, continuing to build upon the community of Kamloops' affordable-housing continuum."
Residents are expected to be able to move into the building in early 2022.
