The original rezoning application, received in October 2021, proposed that all 109 social housing units with supports be rented at the shelter component of income assistance.
Following staff review of the proposal, as well as of comments and feedback received during the rezoning application's Virtual Open House and comment period, the affordability mix was adjusted to: approximately 50% at the shelter component of income assistance (currently $375/month), and 50% at rents-geared-to-income (RGI) for households earning up to 50% of the BC Housing's Housing Income Limits (HILs) (currently max $719/month).
