FUNDRAISING
Current Project

​The Arrowtarian Senior Citizens Society has submitted a project proposal to BC Housing for consideration of a Housing Innovation (IHI) grant to build a much needed 9-unit apartment building. These units will be built at 216 7th Ave in Nakusp, and it is hoped to begin construction by the spring of 2018.

The Society has identified a fundraising shortfall of $400,000 between available funds, the grant,  (pending approval), and an affordable mortgage.

​The aging demographic has put a strain on available affordable housing for seniors. Our current rental properties have a consistent 20 - 30 prospective tenants waiting list with very few units becoming available each year. Seniors are being forced to find accommodation outside of the area, leaving behind their community and support network.

The building of this new property is a priority project for the board of ASCS.​​​

How we use your donations

Donations received over the years have been used for the construction of our properties. 
Donations going forward will be used for our building fund for Phase V, and for future projects once Phase V is complete.  Our goal is to cover as much of the construction costs as possible so as to make the rents as affordable as possible for our tenants.
