VALEMOUNT — Seniors in Valemount will have access to 18 new affordable rental homes in the coming year, all of which will be accessible for people with increased mobility requirements.

Located at 1101 Ash St., the single-level building will include 16 one-bedroom units and two two-bedroom homes. Each unit will have direct access to a private outdoor garden patio space. Rental supports will include subsidies, rents geared to income and affordable market rentals. The Valemount Senior Citizens Housing Society (VSCHS) will operate the new building. The society has worked with its partners to fund additional amenities including a common lift tub, dining room, commercial kitchen, greenhouse and a multipurpose room.

Construction began in mid-May 2023. Tenants are expected to move into their new homes in summer 2024.
