Province opens 40 affordable homes in Pitt Meadows

Katzie First Nation members in Pitt Meadows are set to move into 40 new affordable and supportive homes.

The homes are at 19676, 19679 and 19696 Salish Rd. in Pitt Meadows. They offer affordable and supportive housing for Katzie First Nation members. This includes homes for youth transitioning from care, women fleeing violence, and people facing mental‑health or substance‑use challenges, as well as independent homes for Elders and families.

“This development is more than housing. It’s a place where our youth, Elders and families can thrive,” said Chief Grace George, Katzie First Nation. “It reflects our values of care and community, and we are proud to see this vision come to life.”

These homes include three buildings with 10 youth housing units, 16 supportive housing units with 24/7 staffing and services and 14 independent affordable homes. Amenities include communal lounges, a commercial kitchen, multi-purpose rooms and an Elders’ gathering space.

In partnership with Fraser Health and the Ministry of Family and Child Development, on-site mental-health services and community services will also be available.

This housing was made possible through a partnership between:

• the federal government, through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC)
• the Province, through BC Housing, Fraser Health, and the Ministry of Child and Family Development
• and the Katzie First Nation Affordable Housing Development Society

Construction of these homes was completed in December 2025 and have been lived in by Katzie First Nation members since then. Residents were selected by Katzie First Nation Affordable Housing Development Society, in partnership with BC Housing and the Ministry of Child and Family Development, with priority for Indigenous people facing multiple barriers and youth aging out of care.

“Having housing and supports in one place means Elders, youth and families don’t have to leave their community to get care,” said Christine Boyle, Minister of Housing. “These homes and culture-based services will help young people transition out of care, support community members facing mental-health and addiction challenges and give Elders and families the foundation to make their daily life simpler and more stable.”

This project is part of a $19-billion housing investment by the B.C. government to deliver more homes for people. Since 2017, the Province has more than 95,000 homes delivered or underway throughout B.C.

“These homes bring affordability and culture‑based supports together in one place, so people can stay connected to community and get help when they need it. That makes a real difference for individuals and families to get through tough times,” said Lisa Beare, MLA for Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows.
