A local organization has come forward to help out an affordable housing project in Vernon. Community Futures-North Okanagan has agreed to fund the $1,700 in city application fees for the Community Land Trust's project at 4005 Pleasant Valley Road. The trust tried to get the city to waive the fees earlier this week but city council felt it had already done enough by donating the one acre site. Land Trust president Randy Kolibaba says they understand the city's decision, and appreciate the support. The Trust is working with the Transition House Society to build six duplexes for families fleeing abuse, and senior women.
