The Province, through BC Housing, is working with the City of Nanaimo to open British Columbia’s second navigation centre to provide accommodation and supports for people experiencing long-term homelessness.

More than 300 new homes are being proposed for people in Nanaimo as a result of a new partnership between the Province and the City of Nanaimo.

Middle-income families and individuals in Nanaimo will soon have access to 120 new, affordable rental homes in their community as construction gets underway on two new apartment buildings.

Construction is underway on 23 new affordable rental homes in Nanaimo through a partnership between the Government of B.C. and the Vancouver Island Mental Health Society.

Twenty-seven new affordable homes are now available for moderate- to middle-income families and individuals with the opening of a new rental apartment building in Nanaimo.

New affordable rental homes are on the way that will provide more accessible housing options for people with developmental disabilities.

More affordable housing and improved community services will soon come to the Fifth Street corridor as a result of a new partnership.

People experiencing homelessness in Nanaimo are settling into their new homes following a move into two supportive housing sites in the community.
