This photo is of Burdock House, a similar project in Penticton. It is an approximation of what we intend to build and is subject to change.
Overview
The Province has purchased a site in Penticton. The site is for up to 54 new purpose-built, permanent supportive homes. This will be for locals who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness.
The project is to model the successful Burdock House Supportive Housing project which opened last year.
The site is on 3240 Skaha Lake Road and is currently vacant.
Project Details
Some features of the project include:
a four-storey modular building
up to 54 new studio homes
accessible units, and
space to deliver programs and supportive services
Subsidized monthly rents for the studios are projected to be $375.
An operator for the Skaha Lake project will be confirmed at a later date. Construction is likely to begin in Spring/Summer 2021 and to be completed in Spring/Summer 2022.
Community Feedback

We thank everyone from the community who attended to learn more, ask questions, and provide feedback to the project team. You can watch the video recording of the session below.
