District of North Vancouver - Lloyd Ave

BC Housing is partnering with the District of North Vancouver and RainCity Housing to develop permanent supportive housing for single women and women-led families at the corner of Lloyd Avenue and West 16th Street.

The District of North Vancouver’s Rental and Affordable Housing Strategy has identified that homelessness is on the rise in North Vancouver, and that women and children are increasingly vulnerable.

The 5-storey wood-framed building will provide 60 homes (40 studios and 20 family units with up to 4 bedrooms) for single women and women-led families who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness in the community.

Rezoning & Development

Following community engagement on the proposal, the District of North Vancouver approved the rezoning for this project in April 2021. A Development Permit was issued in July 2022.

In 2023-2024, the development team redesigned the building due to environmental considerations (groundwater and soil conditions). The new design will have surface parking instead of underground parking.

We are currently planning for site work to start in early 2025 and construction to start in Fall 2025.

Operator

RainCity Housing will manage the building and provide services to its residents.

RainCity Housing brings over 40 years of experience providing housing and supports for over 2,000 people throughout the Lower Mainland and the Sunshine Coast. Learn more about RainCity Housing by visiting raincityhousing.org.

Community Engagement

BC Housing and partners held four small group neighbourhood dialogues and two webinars in February and March, 2021. All feedback received before March 26, 2021 was included in a summary report that was submitted to the District as part of the rezoning process.

The District of North Vancouver gathered public feedback on the rezoning application during a public hearing on March 30, 2021. Council also heard public comments on the Development Permit application during the meeting on July 18, 2022.
