🎶 Mark your calendars! Join us Saturday, August 29th at Annex Park for our End of Summer Fundraiser in support of our second stage housing - the only of its kind in the Elk Valley...

We’ll get started at 6pm and we'll be dancing until 10pm with local musical guests. Grab some refreshments (all proceeds support the cause), soak up the last bit of summer, and learn more about the important work EVFS does around violence prevention.

Bring your friends, bring your neighbours — let's close out summer together and support a great cause! 💛

EVFS’s second-stage housing program serving women and children fleeing/at risk of domestic violence and homelessness. Since its construction in 1998, it has provided safe housing for women and children in transition; however, unlike most second-stage housing programs across B.C., it has never received sustainable support funding.
Despite this, the need for this program has only grown and the complexity of clients’ needs has increased dramatically. We thank you in advance for your support!

New to affordable housing terms? At Timber's Landing, you'll see a few different unit types:
👉Market Rental (standard rent),
👉Rent Geared to Income or RGI (rent based on household income), and
👉Deep Discount or DD (reduced rent for those who qualify).

Each is designed to make housing more accessible.

Have questions about which might apply to you? Reach out — we're happy to help.
