Construction on a subsidized housing project adjacent to the remaining units at Tri-Way Mobile Home Park on Spencer Road in Langford has begun.
The 58 units will range from studio to two-bedroom in a five-storey, wood-framed building which is targeted for completion by the fall of 2022. The units are prioritized for low- to moderate-income seniors, families and individuals, including those with accessibility needs. Eleven units will rent at a subsidized rate of $375 a month.
A 12-acre portion of the development property is within the mobile home park, a section that encompasses 75 homes. Residents of 22 of those homes have already been accepted for units once the development is completed.
