18 Units to be transformed to 158

The Capital Region Housing Authority (CRHA) has bold plans to increase the amount of affordable, accessible rental housing in Victoria. Their most recent project is located near Victoria High School. A small empty tract of land and 18 existing townhouses in need of heavy repair will be transformed into 158 units by fall 2024.

The plan provides for a mix of family-ready units ranging from 4 bedroom to basic studios. 50% of the units will be available at below-market rates or subsidized for those on income assistance. And at least 15 units will focus on accessibility. The project was recently approved by Victoria City Council and is scheduled to begin in 2022.
