More housing choices will soon be available for seniors and persons with disabilities.

Twelve new modular housing units for seniors and persons with disabilities will be created in Lake Country, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Al Horning announced earlier this week.

“A full range of housing choices is important to have in every community. Seniors and persons with disabilities in Lake Country will have increased housing opportunities as a result of this new initiative,” says Horning.

He says the 12 housing units will be built in the 10200 block of Bottom Wood Lake Road.

“These units are part of the new Seniors’ Rental Housing initiative, which will create up to 1,000 new housing units across the province. Construction of the first 218 units will start in 19 communities over the next few months, and will create close to 800 jobs.”
