Rent Geared to Income: 48
This housing project provides 48 units for people with low- and moderate- incomes including 24 units that are part of an outreach partnership with Kettle Society which offers Supported Independent Living units for individuals living with mental health issues.
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.
