Help us build a new kind of housing on Galiano.
We are creating secure, long-term, market-price rental housing on Galiano, managed and maintained by the islanders living in it.
Our approach involves incrementally building or leasing housing as opportunities and funding arise, taking advantage of existing zoning and in particular, making use of unused cottage rights.
We do not currently have any housing available.
If you’d like to be on a waiting list for future housing or own land on Galiano you might be willing to lease to us, get in touch.
We are working on two types of housing units:
New units on co-op land
The co-op has acquired an empty lot at 340 Robson Way, behind the school. We have built 3 new 2-bedroom cottages there. In later years, with additional financing, we have the right to build 3 more full-sized houses on the same lot.
New units on leased land
In the future and with additional financing, we want to negotiate agreements with various Galiano landowners to lease a portion of their land for up to 25 years. At this time, we will build 2-bedroom cottages on these lots at the co-op’s expense. The units will remain part of the co-op just long enough to re-coup the co-op’s construction costs, after which they will revert to the landowner.
