Council to consider North Shore affordable housing project proposed by BC Housing
KAMLOOPS — A controversial BC Housing proposal for the North Shore will come back before Kamloops council next week.
BC Housing has proposed a 54-unit affordable housing development for the northwest corner of Leigh Road and Fortune Drive. The four-storey building would contain ‘deeply affordable studio apartments’ meant for formerly homeless residents who require supports to maintain housing, according to a BC Housing document.
If council approves a rezoning request, BC Housing will begin design work and search for an operator for the facility.
The proposal first came before council at its regular meeting on August 27, 2024.
