Rio Vista: Providing Affordable Rental Housing in Richmond
The City of Richmond, Pathways Clubhouse, and BC Housing have partnered to build new, affordable rental housing at 5491 No. 2 Road. The development, named Rio Vista, is a six-storey building with 80 new homes for single people, families and seniors. Rental rates are set to accommodate both low-income and moderate-income households.
The building provides a mix of housing options including 24 studios, 36 one-bedroom units, 15 two-bedroom units and five three-bedroom units. Five per cent of the units will be fully accessible for people living with disabilities.
Serving the Community for 35 years
The building is operated by Pathways Clubhouse, a Richmond-based non-profit housing and service organization that has been offering community-based services to Richmond residents since 1984.
Engaging the Community
In August and September 2019, the City and Pathways Clubhouse engaged with the local community to present the proposed project and listen to feedback. Community input helped to inform City Council’s review of the development permit application.
On September 11, 2019, project partners held a community open house at Thompson Community Centre. To learn more about the development, review the display boards from that event.
