New affordable rental homes coming for seniors, families in Surrey

Seniors, families and adults living with disabilities in Surrey will soon get access to 91 more units of affordable rental housing as construction begins on Harmony Apartments.

“Surrey is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada, and that’s why our government is making historic levels of investments in projects like Harmony Apartments that offer affordable rents where people want to be,” said Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Housing. “As part of our Homes for People plan, we’re taking strong action to meet this moment, tackle these challenges head on, and deliver more homes for people, faster.”

Harmony Apartments at 15145 20 Ave. in Surrey will offer 18 studios, 42 one-bedroom, 24 two-bedroom and seven three-bedroom homes, and will feature a large multipurpose amenity space. The mixed-income building, funded by the Province through BC Housing, will have 50% of the units rented below market rates with rents geared to income, 20% offered at shelter rates for households with very low incomes, and 30% rented at low-end market rates.
