The intent of NYSA’s Youth Residence is to provide safe, supportive, and affordable housing for youth between 16 and 19 years of age. The residence is a drug, alcohol, and violence free environment. NYSA’s Youth Residence is located at 1001 Waddington Road. There are 13 studio units available for single youth, 6 two bedroom units available for single parenting youth and 1 wheelchair accessible unit for a single youth. There is a laundry room, community room, computer room, and storage area available for tenants only. A play area is provided for children living in the complex. There is also an outdoor basketball court, a garden space, and parking available. A person is eligible for housing subsidy if their household income falls below an amount set annually by BC Housing and if their rent exceeds 30% of their income. This means, that if you receive BC Benefits you will not pay more than the cost allowed for shelter. Applicants are assessed for their current need for housing based on criteria which includes the applicant’s income, safety concerns related to current living situation, and personal requirements. This ensures that priority is given to applicants in the greatest need. When there is an available vacancy, applicants with the most need will be screened and then invited to an interview.
