Seniors in Langley have begun moving into 101 new homes, with the opening of the Maple.
The Maple, located at 20355 54 Avenue, is an eight-storey building located in the heart of Langley City. Residents are a ten-minute walk to downtown services and amenities, including the future Langley City Centre SkyTrain station.
The building is operated by Langley Lions Housing Society, an experienced non-profit provider that has been serving seniors in the community for more than forty years.
The new building has been designed for independent seniors. Every home includes adaptable accessibility bathroom features, and seven units are fully accessible. This high standard of accessibility represents the partners’ commitment to the independence of the seniors who will be living here.

Renovations are underway at 1726 East Hastings St. on a new, 40-bed shelter for people experiencing homelessness.
Having safe, accessible shelter in a community means fewer people sheltering outdoors, increasing personal safety and well-being and contributing to greater community safety overall.
The shelter is anticipated to open later this year and will be operated by Lookout Housing and Health Society. It will include indoor common areas, washrooms and laundry facilities and provide connections to employment, health and housing support services.
This project is an important part of our ongoing work to address and prevent homelessness in the community.
Thank you to our partners the @cityofvancouver and @LookoutSociety for #ComingTogether4Housing
Today, BC Housing recognizes Moose Hide Campaign Day.
The Moose Hide Campaign is an Indigenous-led movement that began in B.C. to help end violence against women and children.
Everyone deserves to feel safe where they live. We stand with Indigenous leaders and communities to help end gender-based violence. By learning, listening, speaking up, and acting, we can all help build safer communities.
Today, BC Housing employees are wearing moose hide pins as a symbol of this commitment. It’s one small way we show support and our shared responsibility to create respectful, safe spaces, at work and in the communities we serve.

People experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Victoria have more spaces to come indoors with the opening of Bridge Street Pathways Shelter.
Located at 2920 Bridge St., the 34-bed site is open 24/7 and provides access to meals, showers, laundry and other health and community supports. The site operates on a by-referral basis meaning that drop ins are not permitted. Instead, people will be referred to available spaces by outreach workers.
The more we can help vulnerable people come indoors, the safer and stronger our communities will be.
Thank you to our partners @cityofvictoria and @connectivecommunity for coming #Together4Housing.
