The latest funding to flow through British Columbia’s Community Housing Fund will add nearly 600 rental homes to communities in the Interior and northern B.C.
Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon says the province has selected 15 projects in those regions for development in partnership with local non-profit housing providers.
Kahlon made the announcement in Okanagan Falls, south of Penticton, outside a housing project that provides 26 rental homes for seniors and will be the site of additional housing built using the latest funding.
