After months of mystery for the tenants of the Coachman Apartments, the province is getting involved.
Through BC Housing, the province has bought the old Mumfords Lodge property to provide 19 affordable homes for displaced tenants.
In December 2022, units in the apartments flooded due to frozen pipes, though prior to that, tenants had also been dealing with black mould through out.
Tenants who were displaced in December were provided with hotel rooms as a temporary fix.
Now, through $2.5 million from a Homeless Action Plan grant to buy the property, tenants can move in immediately.
Though because plans for the property are in development, the city is allowing temporary occupancy to get tenants into safe housing as soon as possible.
Terrace Mayor Sean Bujtas says that they have been working with both BC Housing and Ksan Society, who has also helped house seven other displaced families, to make this happen, and will continue to work to increase much needed housing in the community.
