Our community is in a housing crisis

For many on the Coast, especially women and children, poverty is a reality. 59% of children living with single parents on the Coast are living below the poverty line. That is more than 1,100 children and their families, struggling every day. The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted the vulnerability of thousands of our community members. Those at most risk are children, single mothers and women over 50. Often they struggle to meet the fundamental needs of safety, food and housing - things that most of us take for granted.

Build a stronger, safer Coast for all

The Building Together development will include 35 units of affordable housing, crisis response, support and prevention programs - all in one location. These resources will be accessible to all Sunshine Coast community members and will play a critical role in the health and wellbeing of our entire community. Built on land we own in downtown Sechelt, our thoughtful design and community approach will revitalize our neighbourhood into a safe and welcoming area for all. 

Together we make change

BC Housing has selected us to build and operate the 35 affordable housing units that will occupy the top four floors of the new 6-storey building on our current site at 5638 Inlet Avenue, Sechelt; a total investment of $34 million. SCCSS has already secured 90% of the funds. Our new 50 Women for SCCSS campaign aims to raise an additional $1.5M+ help address the current funding gap.

Will you help us raise the funds needed to complete this project?
