Hadgraft Wilson Place building was opened in June 2023 and welcomed residents to 68 new affordable rental homes. The building was financed by BC Housing and is owned and managed by the Pathways Abilities Society. (from City of Kelowna)
The low-income apartment saw residents move out on April 2 after neighbouring construction of the University of B.C. Okanagan's downtown Kelowna campus caused ground shifting and structural damage to the building.
Residents have continued to pay rent to Pathways Abilities Society, the building managers of Hadgraft Wilson Place, in exchange for temporary housing solutions. The tenants were first put up at various hotels in Kelowna before securing the new dorms at Okanagan College for the summer.
As of Aug. 15, tenants will be required to move out of the college dorms, but where they will end up from there is still in question.
