A new Indigenous affordable-housing project with 170 below-market rental units in two buildings has opened in Sooke.
Units in the five-storey wood-frame buildings are a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom homes. The project also features a communal gathering space, accessible parking spaces, gardening opportunities and a playground. The M’akola Housing society owns and operates the property, where the first tenants have started to move in.
The project was a partnership between local, provincial and federal governments through the regional housing first program, said Colin Plant, chair of the Capital Regional District.
