A new 6-storey, 50-unit rental building is coming to our on reserve Tsleil-Waututh community. The new housing will be located in the new community subdivision, along Spa-ath Road. Funding is supported through BC Housing’s Community Housing Fund, and will serve an urgent need for affordable rental housing for our community members.
Over the coming months, the Public Works Department will work with BC Housing to meet the project deliverable and it is anticipated that construction will start in late 2022. We will also ask for your input on the project’s design and keep you updated as this project comes to life.
The communal spaces in the building will include:
- Lobby and Multipurpose Amenity space located on Level 1.
- Kitchenette and washrooms attached to multipurpose space.
- Common laundry room(s) located on main level, or on every other level.
