A non-market housing development for women and children at risk of homelessness is nearing completion at an “unprecedented” speed, according to a Burnaby city staff report.
Burnaby chose EFry in July 2021 to develop and operate the housing for women and single mother-led families at risk of homelessness, according to a city report and EFry’s 2022 annual report. The project is expected to be completed and achieve occupancy in mid-January 2023, about 16 months after its inception.
The city said EFry “has made significant progress constructing this development in an expedited timeframe,” and said called the 16-month-long development timeframe “unprecedented,” despite the delay.
