Seniors and families with low and moderate incomes now have access to more affordable rentals in Kamloops.
The new Sunrise Centre apartment complex has 112 new affordable rental homes, according to a press release from the province.
“One hundred families and seniors will now have affordable rental homes in Kamloops thanks to this project, a prime example of what we need to build to help address the housing crisis in communities throughout the province,” said Housing Minister David Eby, in the press release.
The six-storey, wood-frame building features a mix of studios and one and two-bedroom apartments, including 12 two-bedroom units, which are available to families.
The building is ideally located at 167 6th Ave. in downtown Kamloops because of the proximity to transit, shops and other amenities. Monthly rents are based on unit size and tenant income, and range from $375 for studios to $1,150 for two-bedroom units, according to the province.
The Centre for Seniors’ Information B.C. Interior Society owns and operates the building.
The province, through B.C. Housing, provided $11.2 million for the project and will provide annual operating funding of approximately $466,000.
