We offer several types of affordable rental housing, designed to meet a range of income levels and housing needs. Please apply to the type that best suits your needs and household income. More info on each type can be found in the tabs below and you can review floor plans HERE.

The Harrow Road Project will offer 63 rental homes, designed for individuals and families, including 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units. Housing will be offered at varied rental rates to accommodate different income levels, including moderate market rents, rent-geared-to-income units, and deep-subsidy units for low-income residents.

For the Harrow Road Project, priority will be given to residents or employees who have lived or worked in the Pemberton Area for at least one year. Applications are now also open for residents or employees who have lived or worked in Whistler for at least one year. For clarity, applicants only need to prove residency OR employment for a minimum of twelve consecutive months, not both. These areas include: Village of Pemberton SLRD Area C, including in the RMOW First Nation communities, including Lil’wat, Samahquam, Skatin, Xa’xtsa and N’Quatqua.

Eligibility and Rental Rates

• What is “affordable housing”? Housing is considered affordable when 30% or less of your household’s gross income goes toward paying for your housing costs.
• Who will be eligible to live in the proposed development? All tenants must meet maximum income thresholds that differ depending on the level of affordability of the unit.
• Project target populations: Low to moderate income families, seniors, and persons with disabilities.

During the initial lease-up for Harrow Road, priority will be given to people who currently live or work in Pemberton.

For Market units, selection is based on a first come first served process. Complete applications are added to a waitlist, and when a unit becomes available applicants are contacted in order.
For Rent Geared to Income and Deep Subsidy units, selection is done via a tenant selection committee comprised of SSCS staff members from a variety of backgrounds. Selection is made based on housing need.

Location: 7000 Harrow Road, Pemberton
