New project will provide affordable housing in Vernon

The provincial government invested $2.85 million for the purchase of the land and capital costs

A new housing development under construction in Vernon will  soon provide affordable homes for families, singles and people with  disabilities in the community.

Vernon Viridian on 24th Avenue will include up to 20  residential apartments and is expected to be complete by the summer.

The provincial government invested $2.85 million for the purchase of the land and capital costs for the building.

Kindale Developmental Association  will manage and operate the facility.

“Kindale has served the North Okanagan through the provision of housing  and services for our most vulnerable community members,” said B. Elliott, Kindale executive director.

“Vernon Viridian  will be a welcome complement to our four residential homes and  established success with the Under One Roof project.”
