Experience community, affordability, and comfort.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is there a waitlist for any of the properties?
A: Yes. BC Housing manages all housing applications on behalf of Parksville Lions Housing Society. Applications are held on a waitlist until such time as an appropriate housing vacancy becomes available.
Q: How long will I be on the waitlist?
A: Your wait for housing will be determined by the number of applicants, their needs, and housing availability. Note that your priority on the waitlist is not solely based on the date of your application. Other applicants considered to be in more need may be placed ahead of you.
Q: Do you allow couples in the senior housing facilities?
A: Yes. Couples are welcome to apply.
Q: How is my rent calculated?
A: In subsidized units, the monthly rental rate is 30% of your gross monthly income, otherwise low-end market rents apply.
Q: Will my rent increase?
A: If subsidized, the Society conducts annual income assessments on all residents. Any change to your rent will be determined by changes to your income. In non-subsidized units rent percentage increases are determined by the Residential Tenancy Act.
Q: Do you require a damage deposit?
A: We only collect a damage deposit at certain properties (currently Gillingham Estates and Kingsley Manor).
Q: Does the Society provide any support services?
A: No. All of our properties are considered independent housing. There are many outside agencies that provide a variety of support services should you require any.
Q: The Society states that no pets are allowed at any of their properties. What if I only have a little dog?
A: Sorry, NO PETS of any kind or size are allowed.
