Garth Homer Society Faces Funding Gap for New Facility
The Garth Homer Society in British Columbia is grappling with a significant setback as they lose expected provincial funding for a new facility, including housing for adults with developmental disabilities. The non-profit had hoped for a sixteen-million-dollar grant and forty-four million dollars in financing, but now theyre building on their own while temporarily operating from a school site. The project plans call for ninety new homes, with thirty for market rate, thirty for low-income renters, and thirty tailored for people needing support. Families, especially parents concerned about housing for their adult children, are deeply worried. The Ministry of Housing admits rescinding some proposals and understands the frustration, but notes thousands of homes are still advancing province-wide. The society is launching a twenty-eight-million-dollar capital campaign and considering debt to push forward.
