San Juan Community Home Trust Board members got together recently to celebrate a good couple of months.
Sun Rise II, the Home Trust’s third development, is well under way, with 3 bungalows brought in from Victoria by barge in August, already on site and ready to be lowered onto their foundations. In addition, 3 new donors have pledged money to underwrite more houses for this development of 12 forever affordable homes.
The homes are ones which were scheduled to be razed to make way for larger, more modern style houses. Instead the Home Trust is buying these 1920s and 1930s style bungalows and bringing them in for renovation and sale to low and moderate income residents of San Juan Island.
The home in the picture above was recently renovated for resale in the Home Trust’s first development, Salal, which was completed in 2006.
