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.

With $157 million in capital funding approved, the replacement of Nanaimo Correctional Centre (NCC) will proceed, creating approximately 1,000 project-related jobs and a purpose-built facility that enhances safety, security and space to continue successful programs.

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.

Women and children leaving violence in Nanaimo will soon have more safe places to regroup, recover and begin rebuilding their lives.

The Province is investing $24 million to increase access for low-income families to fresh food, dental and hearing care for children, and to support community initiatives to reduce poverty.
