A new 66-unit affordable housing project in downtown New Westminster, PAL New West, provides homes for low to moderate-income individuals. This project emphasizes community and support for artists and entertainers, with rents ranging from $800 to $1,350. PAL Vancouver operates the building, aiming to replicate this model across Metro Vancouver. Residents have praised PAL for fostering community and providing essential support. Each unit includes amenities and access to communal spaces.
The project, a collaboration between BC Housing, PAL Vancouver, and Vintop Development Corporation, offers relief in New West’s housing crisis. Officials commend the initiative for its creative approach to affordable housing, recognizing the need to support diverse community members.
