Affordable housing project in Fruitvale now accepting applications
By Contributor
The Lower Columbia Affordable Housing Society is pleased to announce their new affordable 31-
unit housing project in Fruitvale, Blizzard Mountain Place, is now accepting applications for tenancy
through the BC Housing Registry. Blizzard Mountain Place will provide affordable rental housing for
low to moderate income households with limited assets (not including registered funds like RRSPs
and RIFs). Of the 31 units:
• 15 will be rented at a rate based on 30% of household income
• 7 will be offered at deeply subsidized rents
• 9 will be available at market rental rates
With the goal of creating an inclusive community, there will be an indoor social or amenity room for
use by tenants (to be known as the Huckleberry Room), a small office for LCAHS staff and
contractors, laundry facilities and storage areas. Also included are several outdoor amenities,
including shared raised garden beds, a children’s play area and shaded seating.
Applications must be submitted on-line using the Housing Registry managed by BC Housing at
https://housingapplication.bchousing.org. Those wanting more information or needing assistance
with the on-line application process may reach out to Warren Kalawsky, the LCAHS Tenancy
Coordinator for this property at manager@lcahs.ca or 250-231-1423. Warren will be hosting an
open house for interested applicants June 20, 2025 from 1 pm to 6 pm at the Community Hall in
Fruitvale.
