Cardington Apartments opened in 2008 and is a Provincial Homelessness Initiative that provides 30 self-contained bachelor units of low-income supportive housing for adult men and women (19+) who are at risk of homelessness and working towards managing mental health and substance misuse issues.
Life skill development is a key support to service. The goal is to integrate individual participants into more independent housing in two years by providing support services to assist individuals in managing their issues of substance misuse, mental health concerns, and develop important life skills.
Rent: $400 if receiving the Ministry of Social Development & Social Innovation funding or Rent Geared to Income (30% of Gross Income) for those receiving alternative funding resources.
Utilities Included: Cable, Heat, Electricity, Water & Laundry.
The project is made possible because of a funding partnership between the province of British Columbia (BC Housing), Interior Health, the City of Kelowna and the Government of Canada. This is one of the initiatives from the Premier’s Task Force on Homelessness, Mental Illness and Addictions.
