STRONGER TOGETHER
Duncan Housing Society is proud to collaborate with organizations, government agencies, and community partners who share our commitment to providing safe, affordable, and independent living for seniors and persons with disabilities in Duncan, BC.
In the face of today’s growing housing challenges, our partnerships are more important than ever in helping create stable, supportive communities for those who need it most.
PRIMARY FUNDERS
BC Housing
DHS applied for and secured funding for this project through BC Housing’s very competitive Community Housing Fund. The units will be perpetual rentals, rented at below-market rates for seniors and persons living with disabilities.
Projects funded under BC Housing’s Community Housing Fund are required to have rents structured as follows:
50% of units rented at “rent geared to income” (RGI), where the rent is no more than 30% of the tenant’s income.
30% of units are slightly below-market rentals.
20% of units are rented at a deep subsidy.
Federation Of Canadian Municipalities
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC)
CMHC provided funding for the project, and additional funding opportunities exist that DHS may be able to access in the future.
ADDITIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
Cowichan Housing Association (CHA)
