New Health Professionals Housing Project Opens Waitlist, Welcomes First Residents This Fall

(Campbell River, BC) – The Strathcona Regional District (SRD) is pleased to announce that the waitlist is now open for its Health Professionals Housing (HPH) facility in Campbell River, which is scheduled to welcome its first residents this September.

Located near Campbell River Hospital, the facility provides flexible accommodation for healthcare professionals at all stages of their careers, whether they are visiting the region for short-term assignments, completing training or placements, relocating to the community, or establishing long-term practice and employment in the North Island.

HPH offers 20 welcoming suites designed for individuals, couples, and families, with options ranging from studio suites to two-bedroom units. Accommodations are available for stays from one week to over a year, with fully furnished short-term rentals and partially furnished long-term options. Select suites are pet-friendly, and some feature private balconies and ocean views. Utilities and parking are included in all rates, providing a comfortable, flexible, and hassle-free place to call home.

By providing safe, convenient, and attainable accommodation, the project helps healthcare professionals experience all that Campbell River has to offer while building lasting connections to the community.

"This project is a great example of what local governments can accomplish when they take a regional approach to solving challenges, said Mark Baker, SRD Board Chair.  “By helping healthcare professionals find housing and establish roots in our communities, we are making a long-term investment in the health and well-being of residents across the North Island."

A new promotional video showcasing the facility, amenities, and lifestyle opportunities available in Campbell River is now available. Information about this project, eligibility and applications can be found at srd.ca/hph.

The SRD recognizes Seymour Pacific Homes, the project's builder and a key project partner, for its contribution to bringing the facility to completion.

With access to ocean, rivers, forests, and mountain recreation, Campbell River offers an exceptional quality of life and serves as a healthcare hub for the North Island. The Healthcare Professionals Housing project helps attract and retain the healthcare professionals needed to support communities across the region.

Healthcare professionals interested in learning more or joining the waitlist are encouraged to visit srd.ca/hph to view the promotional video and apply.
