DL 114 AFFORDABLE HOUSING: PUBLIC HEARING
The Public Hearing for the rezoning of DL 114 is scheduled for July 20th, 6:30 PM at the Community Hall. It will be preceded by an Information Session at 5:30 PM if you would like to ask questions of District staff, the Tofino Housing Corporation or the Catalyst Community Developments Society. You may attend the Public Hearing in person and provide written comments to Council by emailing Peter Thicke at pthicke@tofino.ca and corporateservices@tofino.ca by noon on July 20th. The Tofino Housing Corporation is working with the Catalyst Community Developments Society to develop 72 units of below-market rental housing and 6 duplex units, which will be a mix of market housing and Price Restricted Resident Restricted housing.

SHARP RD: CONSTRUCTION STARTING SOON
The rezoning for 14 units of below-market rental housing and the adoption of Housing Agreement bylaw - which specifies maximum rents and tenant eligibility - are both now complete. The CMHC Co-Investment Fund selected the project for financial and financing support. Catalyst Community Developments Society is working through the CMHC approval processes and construction is planned to start in August or September, with occupancy 16-18 months later. Catalyst will be accepting registrations from interested individuals and households after construction has begun.
