Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - Mark Lombard from the Cortes Housing Society recently gave an update on progress at the Rainbow Ridge Affordable Housing Project.“At this point we're well along the way of building a community building with an office for the housing society. It’ll have: - a utility space that has controls for the water systems and filtration to send water to all the homes. - the controls for the battery and solar system that will provide backup power for the water and sewer for the buildings.- a laundry room that'll serve the women's shelter and other people on the south end who need it. a guest bedroom that people who live in the seniors village or at Rainbow Ridge will be able to rent for a modest price per night. a lounge area with a kitchenette that people can have a little birthday dinner or a card game, or if the Housing Society board wants to meet, there'll be a big table that can be used for that.”
