VANCOUVER — Families, seniors and people living with disabilities in Vancouver now have more affordable housing options as Heather Place Building B opens.
Located at 788 W. 13th Ave., the building features studio units, and one-, two-Â and three-bedroom homes that are either accessible or meet universal design standards to support seniors and people living with disabilities, states a release.
The homes will offer a range of rental options, such as affordable market rates, rents geared to household incomes and deeply subsidized units.
Metro Vancouver, through Metro Vancouver Housing, will own and manage the homes.
Amenities include indoor and outdoor spaces, such as a gymnasium, gathering rooms with kitchens, community gardens and storage areas as well as onsite child care.
Heather Place Building B is one of many projects being delivered under the 10-year partnership between the province, through BC Housing, and Metro Vancouver, through Metro Vancouver Housing. This collaboration is on track to deliver approximately 2,000 new non-market homes across the region, the release adds.
This partnership is part of a $19-billion housing investment by the B.C. government.
