Small Scale Housing
FRANKLIN ROAD HOUSING Gibsons
Located in Gibsons, this housing complex offers three affordable rental units: a 3-bedroom house with a self-contained studio suite, and a 2-bedroom laneway house. Built in 2021, it's situated in a quiet residential neighbourhood close to transit and amenities. The project was made possible through a long-term land lease with the Town of Gibsons, a capital grant from BC Housing, contributions from the Town of Gibsons' Affordable Housing Reserve, community fundraising, and a BC Housing mortgage.

LIGHTHOUSE AVENUE Sechelt
Currently in pre-development, the Lighthouse Avenue project is envisioned as a 33-unit rental apartment building offering a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes — including units dedicated to essential service workers who are vital to our community.
This project is a collaborative partnership between the District of Sechelt, the Ministry of Education and Child Care (MECC), BC Housing, and the Sunshine Coast Affordable Housing Society, who will manage the residential portion of the building.
Alongside new housing, the development will also include a much-needed childcare centre, featuring 77 spaces for infants to children aged five, as well as before- and after-school care.
