YWCA No.3 Road Richmond Project
Status: in development
We are partnering with Keltic Development on a new housing project to provide 27 affordable units in the heart of Richmond.
For the first time, studio and one-bedroom units will also be available alongside our usual offerings of two- and three-bedroom units. In addition to serving single mothers and their children, we will also be offering housing for single women without dependents. We will be prioritizing those who are fleeing violence from an intimate partner and those who wish to stay in the community.
This new YWCA housing community is close to Richmond Centre, grocery stores, Richmond Public Library, Richmond General Hospital, play areas and plenty of green spaces. Residents will also have full access to all other building amenities within the four-tower complex.
We are embarking on a capital campaign to raise $5.9M, and are actively seeking donors to join us in making this housing a reality.
