Sunshine Coast Community Services Society (SCCSS) and BC Housing have been working with our team to redevelop an existing administration and program building into a mixed-use building.
Building Together will be a six-storey, wood-frame building that provides 34 units of multi-generational affordable rental housing for single women, women with children, female youth aging out of care, and senior women. It will offer studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units across the top four storeys; creating a community of women and families who have similar life experiences such as struggles with homelessness, poverty and experiences of violence/abuse.
The goal of this development is to create a hub of services that bring SCCSS’ broader community together while providing support for housed residents on an as-needed basis. The development will bring many of SCCSS programs to one location, hosting a spectrum of services including children and family supports, meal programs, food bank services, and a community garden. This will reduce barriers to service and increase opportunities for individuals and families, particularly for those with complex challenges, to access a variety of services in one location.
Construction began in November 2024, and is expected to complete Fall 2026.
