Rent Geared to Income: 32
The Ben & Esther Dayson residences are operated by Tivka Housing Society and is made up of townhouses and two- and three-bedroom+ units, geared to families. Rents are targeted to approximately 30% of gross household income.
The project was developed by the Vancouver Community Land Trust Foundation, now known as the Community Land Trust. Through an innovative partnership with the City of Vancouver in 2014, the organization developed five housing projects on city-owned land leased to the trust, with financial support from Vancity Credit Union and BC Housing.
Since then, the Community Land Trust has expanded this model significantly, delivering affordable housing developments in communities across British Columbia.
