This Tuesday was National Housing Day.
In the growing Fraser Valley, affordable and available housing is a big concern for the people who live here, and for our government. That’s why your B.C. New Democrats have been investing in housing projects here in the Valley since 2018, including in my community of Chilliwack.
Prioritizing safe and secure places for people who are vulnerable or at risk of homelessness is no question for our government. In partnership with amazing non-profits and other local partners, we have invested in hundreds of supportive homes in Chilliwack with wrap-around support, including 16 units of housing geared specifically for youth experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Building more rental homes that people can afford is top of mind, and that’s why we’ve invested in projects like the 74 units coming to Spadina Avenue in partnership with Mamele’awt Qweesome & To’o Housing Society. This project will consist of affordable rentals for low to moderate income families, seniors and people with mobility issues. Additionally, 23 new affordable homes for Indigenous families on Tzeatchen First Nation opened in June of this year.
