44 units of modular housing coming to Nanaimo to help the most vulnerable
NANAIMO — Nanaimo’s most vulnerable and at-risk residents will soon have a new place to stay.
The B.C. ministry of municipal affairs and housing announced Thursday a new $7 million, 44-unit modular housing project will be built in south Nanaimo on Cranberry Ave., beside Chase River Elementary School.
Municipal affairs and housing minister Selina Robinson said in a release the province is paying for the cost of the development while the City is providing the land.
“Solving the housing crisis affecting people in Nanaimo…won’t be easy, but when we work together and work quickly, we can create safe, affordable homes for people who need them,” she said.
