Cardington Apartments
 The John Howard Society Cardington Apartments provide 30 units of supportive housing for adults who are homeless and addressing addictions and mental health issues. The house complex is located at 1436 St. Paul Street.
The four-storey building includes studio suites and additional space to provide support services and programs to assist tenants in achieving independence and self-sufficiency.
The John Howard Society is the property manager and landlord, with Interior Health providing staffing and support services needed by the residents.
The project is made possible because of a funding partnership between the City of Kelowna, BC Housing , Interior Health and the Government of Canada (CMHC).
Partner Contributions
The capital budget of $6.75 million includes:
- a one-time grant of $2.25 million under the Canada-BC Affordable Housing Agreement form the Government of Canada, through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, will provide
- The Province will provide an operating subsidy of approximately $225,000 annually for 35 years. The subsidy will offset the difference between what the tenant pays and what it costs to administer and maintain the building, including the principal and interest on the mortgage.
- The City of Kelowna land (valued at $465,000 in 2005) for a nominal fee on a 60-year lease.
- Interior Health funding for support services up to approximately $500,000 annually.
