Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC Announces New Affordable Housing Project in Cranbrook
July 28, 2025 | Castlegar, BC
Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC is excited to announce a major step forward in affordable housing development: a brand-new build in the City of Cranbrook.
On July 28, Cranbrook City Council officially approved the donation of a City-owned parcel of land at 2600 4th Street South for the construction of a side-by-side duplex. Each unit will feature three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and an unfinished basement, offering space for future growth and flexibility.
This milestone follows Council’s May 2025 approval for Habitat to evaluate the site and submit a development proposal. After completing site investigations and internal reviews, Habitat has confirmed that the location aligns with our mission to support working families with dependent children by providing safe, stable, and affordable homeownership opportunities.
“This project builds on our successful partnership with the City that began in 2014,” said Mayor Wayne Price, referencing Habitat’s first build in Cranbrook’s Slaterville neighbourhood. “With housing affordability a top priority, we’re proud to continue working together to serve local families.”
At Habitat Southeast BC, we believe in the power of home to transform lives. Through a model that offers no-down-payment, income-geared mortgages, partner families help build their own homes and gain access to the stability and pride of homeownership.
Since fall 2024, Habitat has been working closely with the City of Cranbrook to explore this opportunity. With Council’s support and a shared vision for community-focused development, this project marks a bold and hopeful step forward for local housing.
More updates will be shared as the project moves ahead — and we can’t wait to bring more families home.
