The building also houses Little Mountain Neighbourhood House, which will provide 69 childcare spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Ken Sim said the project responds to the needs of the family-oriented neighbourhood by expanding access to affordable housing, childcare and community services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project delivers more than housing. It supports the community for years to come,\u201d Sim said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The affordable housing component will be operated by S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Affordable Housing Society. The homes will include a mix of shelter-rate, income-based and low-end-of-market rental units.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Drew, chief program officer at S.U.C.C.E.S.S., said the development will help residents establish roots and build connections within the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe opening of this building is about creating a place where people can put down roots, build connections and feel a true sense of belonging,\u201d Drew said.<\/p>\n<p>Queenie Choo, chief executive officer of S.U.C.C.E.S.S., said secure housing provides a foundation for people and families to thrive and participate more fully in community life.<\/p>\n<p>The project also features an attached community plaza overseen by the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation. The plaza includes a public art installation by Musqueam artist Susan Point.<\/p>\n<p>Little Mountain Neighbourhood House is expected to open in the fall, while S.U.C.C.E.S.S. will begin leasing the affordable housing units in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tKeep it Factual<\/p>\n<p>Add CityNews Vancouver as a trusted source on Google to see more local stories from us.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=vancouver.citynews.ca\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"add-trusted-source-badge\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1778189171_473_google-trusted-badge.png\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" width=\"198\" height=\"63\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new affordable housing and community services hub in Vancouver\u2019s Riley Park neighbourhood has been completed, combining housing,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":839065,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194298],"tags":[49,48,55],"class_list":["post-839064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vancouver","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-vancouver"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/839064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=839064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/839064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/839065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=839064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=839064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=839064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
