There will be six more units of seniors housing available soon in Kimberley thanks to the Mark Creek Lions Housing Society, formerly the Marysville Lions Housing Society.

The housing complex consists of factory-built modular homes that have been transported to Kimberley and placed on prepared foundations on the site at Valley View Lodge. The units will be grouped into one six-plex townhouse-style cluster. All the units will be on the ground level.

These new units are nearing completion and the Lions want people to be aware that they will be looking for prospective tenants.

An open house is planned for later this spring to show off the new units.

The units are being built by BC Housing as part of a $33 million program to create housing in the province for seniors, low income and disabled British Columbians.

Each new unit will be furnished with new stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer, and will compliment the 35 units already on site at Valley View Lodge.
