Ground breaking takes place for Kamloops affordable housing project

Nov 15, 2019 | 1:35 PM

KAMLOOPS — The province’s Housing Minister is visiting Kamloops to tout an 112-unit affordable housing project which was announced last year.

The units are designated for low- to middle-income seniors and families.

“People in Kamloops deserve to have an affordable home close to friends and family,” said Housing Minister Selina Robinson. “That’s why we are working hard with our partners to build homes that seniors and families can afford in their own communities throughout the province.”

The provincial government has partnered with the Centre for Seniors Information in Kamloops, and Stoni Flats Developments to build the homes at 630 Victoria St.

There will be a mix of studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments — including 12 two-bedroom homes — in the six-storey building.

The centre is receiving $11.2 million from the province, along with annual operating funding for the project.
