The Society of Hope said the wheels are turning for it's next affordable housing project in Kelowna’s north end, Pleasantvale 2.
A non-profit organization in Kelowna is continuing its work on creating new affordable rental housing in the city.
The Society of Hope said the wheels are turning for it’s next project in Kelowna’s north end, named Pleasantvale 2.
“The thing about this site is it’s always been affordable housing, from the longest memory, and for us to stay in the neighbourhood, and carry that legacy forward (is great),” said Luke Stacks, Society of Hope’s executive director.
“We are going to (add) 150 homes here.”
Stack said the homes that will be built in Kelowna’s north end will be a great addition to the neighborhood, creating a more diverse and inclusive area.
“I’m a big believer in integrated housing, where everyone should have an opportunity to live in a neighbourhood no matter your income level,” said Stack.
“I think its healthy for our community to have people on modest incomes and stronger incomes — that is what a community is.”
The new buildings will be built next to Society of Hopes existing Pleasantvale, 471 units of affordable rentals, for both seniors and families.
