Kelowna is in line for over 7 million dollars from the BC government’s plan to provide more affordable housing for mixed income earners.

The NOW Canada Society will get 4 million dollars to build 40 homes for families, seniors and women with children, and 3 million to the City of Kelowna to build 33 family homes.

The Province’s new Building BC: Community Housing Fund, a $1.9-billion investment over 10 years, will build more than 14,000 affordable rental homes for seniors, families and low-and middle-income earners, with many to include child care.

These 4,900 homes, the first set of projects selected through this fund, will include both non-profits and co-ops, and will be built over the next two to three years.
