🏗️ March Update: 878 Frederick Street Is Taking Shape
The new community at 878 Frederick Street is coming together quickly. What started as drawings is now a real building with rooms, hallways, and shared spaces taking shape. Each week brings us closer to welcoming people home later this year.
🚧 What’s Happening on Site
Construction crews have been busy with the final touches inside the building:
- Painting is nearly finished on Levels 2–4
- Flooring is being installed throughout the building
- Kitchens and bathrooms are coming together
- Lighting and electrical work is being completed
- Drywall and ceiling panels are almost done
- The elevator installation is well underway
- Exterior siding continues as weather allows
The building is really starting to look like a home.
🏡 Who Will Live Here
878 Frederick Street is being built for a mix of people who need safe, affordable housing. This includes:
- People supported by KW Habilitation who choose to live in a supported apartment
- Seniors looking for affordable housing
- Individuals from the community who need affordable housing
Interviews for these units have now begun, and many people are excited for the chance to be part of this new community.
🤝 Neighbour Helping Neighbour
A key part of this project is our Neighbour Helping Neighbour approach. It encourages:
- Natural friendships
- Informal support between residents
- Reduced isolation
- A sense of safety and belonging
- Everyday kindness and connection
It’s about creating a community where people look out for one another.
💛 How You Can Help Build This Community
Make a Donation
Donations are an essential part of bringing 878 Frederick Street to life. They help us finish the building, keep rents affordable, and make sure the people who move in have a safe, welcoming place to call home.
One‑time gifts make a real difference, and monthly donations go even further. A small amount each month provides steady support we can count on as the project moves toward completion.
