Jocelyn Doll/Campbell River Mirror Habitat volunteers and North Island College students lay the foundation for Habitat for Humanity’s latest build on Hilchey Road. The build includes four duplexes and one triplex to be built over the next three years.

Typically, it’s Habitat for Humanity giving the hand up but recently, the non-profit was on the receiving end of such a gesture.

At its March 27 meeting, Campbell River City Council agreed to help Habitat make its most recent build – a multi-family development on Hilchey Road – a bit more financially viable.

Habitat will be exempt from posting a $29,233 bond – an upfront cost posted by an applicant to ensure no road damage occurs during development and that all the landscaping promised by the developer comes to fruition – and will receive a $23,000 grant-in-lieu to cover land-use application fees.
