STORY OF A LIFELINE

Last week, there was just one folding chair out in the sunshine on the south-facing balconies of North Vancouver’s newest affordable housing project. But plenty more are on the way.
Residents have begun moving into the 89 below-market apartments at Timberline I, the first phase of the total redevelopment of the City of North Vancouver’s North Shore Neighbourhood House lands on East Second Street. Twenty-seven of the homes in the six-storey building from the non-profit Catalyst Community Developments Society are reserved at affordable rates for renters who earn lower- and middle-incomes – $1,158 per month for a studio or one-bedroom to $2,150 for three bedrooms. The other 62 units are offered at prices considered to be at the lower end of current market rates, ranging from $2,031 for studios to $3,469 for three bedrooms. As of last Wednesday, all of the homes reserved for people at lower incomes had been leased, but Catalyst is still taking applications for market-oriented units. Applicants who already live or work in the city are given priority consideration. Continued on A20
