B.C. Housing purchase Silvercrest Suites leaves resident uncertain for the future
KAMLOOPS — The provincial government has announced that B.C. Housing is providing approximately $10 million to Oncore Seniors Society to finance the purchase of the five-storey Silvercrest Suites building on the North Shore.
The province says the partnership will ensure the building won’t be sold to a private developer and preserve 53 units of affordable rental housing for seniors.
Oncore Seniors Society assumed ownership and operation of the building. Not much has changed since the residents were informed about the sale two weeks ago, expect for a change in security.
