SHARE Housing Initiative (SHARE) is a not-for-profit organization that was formed in 2017 by the Kootenay Christian Fellowship. SHARE’s mission is to create and provide affordable, quality, and safe housing; providing opportunity for all to live, work, and thrive in Nelson.

SHARE currently operates 39 units of affordable workforce housing at Herridge Place and continues to be committed to providing affordable housing for working people in Nelson.

SHARE is proposing a new building located at 1306-1308 Fell Street that will provide 48 units of long-term, affordable housing for low-and moderate-income households in Nelson, BC. The proposed development is a 5-storey building that includes a mix of studio, 1-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, surface and underground parking, and a variety of amenities such as bike storage, laundry, outdoor green space, and a large indoor common area.
The proposed development will provide affordable homes for low-to-moderate income individuals, such as students and young professionals, couples and small families suitable for two-bedrooms, and seniors working in Nelson. (learn more)
