“We are pleased to work with the province and our community partners to develop and support this much-needed affordable and supportive housing for our residents,” Salmon Arm Mayor Alan Harrison said. “Everyone needs a safe, secure place to call home.”

Supportive housing applicants will go through a thorough assessment process to ensure an appropriate mix of residents with the right supports in place. Supports will include meal programs, life and employment skills training, and access to health and wellness support services. All residents will sign a program agreement and will pay rent.

The Canadian Mental Health Association of Shuswap-Revelstoke will operate the entire site.

“We are pleased to be working in collaboration with our partners to provide affordable housing solutions in our community,” Dawn Dunlop, executive director, Canadian Mental Health Association Shuswap-Revelstoke, said.

The affordable rental homes will be tied to income, which means people will pay approximately 30 per cent of their gross household income.

For the supportive housing component, rent will be $375 a month shelter rate.
