Low Income Seniors Housing Project in Chase

Village of Chase Release

The Village of Chase Council gave its support to Oncore Seniors Society based in Kamloops to construct a low-income seniors housing complex in Chase, adjacent to Shepherd Road. Oncore has applied for funding through BC Housing to construct this much needed development.

The complex is proposed to have 40 units and will be within walking distance to grocery and other amenities.

The Village Council heard from consultant Dylan Houlihan of Urban Systems in December who provided a summary of the Housing Needs Assessment that was conducted for the Village. Mr. Houlihan indicated the need in Chase for more housing for seniors.

With a large proportion of senior residents in Chase, a project such as this one is very welcomed.

Pending approval by BC Housing, we anticipate the project getting underway in 2021.

“We do know that yes, definitely, Chase has a larger proportion of seniors. We know that we’re kind of a little bit of a bedroom community in Kamloops. So, we’re thrilled about this current proposed development and yes, definitely our council is very supportive,” Joni Heinrich, Village Chief Administrative Officer, says.

“We recently had a report from a consultant done for a Housing Needs Assessment for Chase, and we know that there is definitely a need for this type of housing in Chase.”

The exact timeline and the project cost still have not yet been determined.
