New Cribs Alert! 40 Affordable Homes Popping Up in Courtenay for Indigenous Peeps 🏡🙏

The Deets

Okay, listen up, fam! Courtenay's got some good news dropping. They just yeeted a brand-new building with 40 affordable homes. It's called Naut’sa mawt, and it's all about prioritizing Indigenous elders, people with disabilities, and anyone just tryna make it with low to moderate income. We love to see it!

This ain't no regular apartment, tho. We talkin' studios and one-bedrooms in a five-story building, plus almost 80% are flexin' full accessibility or can be tweaked to be that way. Talk about inclusive! The location's clutch too – 1679 McPhee Ave, so you know where to find it.

Now, let's talk bread. Rental prices are actually pretty sweet, ranging from $500 to around $1,300 a month, depending on your coin. Some one-bedroom units are even reserved for peeps making under $41,500 a year. That's what I call a steal!

Big ups to the Wachiay Friendship Centre Society, who not only own and manage the spot but also hooked it up with the land and some cash equity. The government, BC Housing, and even the feds threw some bags in the pot to make this happen. It's all about that community love and support, fr fr.

This is part of a bigger flex by the B.C. government to drop some serious coin on housing, starting back in 2017. With 92,000 homes either built or in the works, they're really tryna make a difference. This project aims to create safe, affordable spots where Indigenous and non-Indigenous peeps can connect and vibe together. Let's get it!
