The governments of Canada and British Columbia continue to invest in local infrastructure during this unprecedented time to meet the needs of communities, promote healthy living, and support economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Twenty-five new affordable homes are on the way for families, seniors and people with disabilities in Burnaby, with construction underway on a new housing project in the community.

The Province, through BC Housing, is exploring opportunities to replace the aging units at the Stratford Gardens housing development in Burnaby with more new modern, affordable homes.

The Province is partnering with the Progressive Housing Society on two new projects that will deliver 43 new supportive homes, along with 45 new shelter spaces, for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Burnaby.

The first ever year-round shelter in Burnaby will provide relief from nights on the street and give support and hope to people experiencing homelessness in the community, thanks to a partnership between the Province and the city.
