3338 Sawmill Crescent, Vancouver, BC
The Sawmill project is an example of how strategic partnerships can have a substantial impact on housing affordability. The Community Land Trust (CLT), in partnership with TL Housing Solutions, was awarded the City of Vancouver-owned site through a competitive proposal call administered through the Vancouver Affordable Housing Agency (VAHA). 337 homes were delivered to CLT and its not-for-profit operating partner, M’akola Housing Society. At the time, Sawmill represented a significant portion of the largest one-time municipal land investment in the community housing sector in Canadian history. Sawmill is being developed in partnership with BC Housing and VAHA under a fast-tracked municipal process.
