Non-profits in Burnaby and NewWestminster are among 49 set to receive provincial funding for capital projects

MOSAIC (the Multilingual Orientation Service Association for Immigrant Communities) is getting a $250,000 boost to enhance and expand services by creating a new multi-service centre next to one of its current offices

The project will include a full renovation and construction of the 4,300 sqft office space

“Burnaby is one of the most diverse municipalities in our province that’s close to 60 per cent of residents being immigrants, especially Burnaby-Edmonds, (which) has one of the highest concentrations of immigrant and refugee households,” MOSAIC CEO Olga Stachova said at a news conference today (Feb. 17).

“That is why it’s so important that accessible, physical service locations with a wide range of social and community supports are available right in this area.

“Everything is getting more expensive,” Stachova added

“We all see costs the rising cost of rent, the cost of construction, material costs of infrastructure and not-for-profits find it increasingly more challenging to be able to afford to operate physical service locations in municipalities, especially close to transit, and transit helps So it’s amazing to have this location right here, a multi-ser- vice location that will be supporting immigrants or refugees of all ages through a wide range of services ”

Meanwhile,Westminster House Society received $184,027 to construct a new admissions office to replace its existing office

The organization also hopes to provide better triage services to the vulnerable populations that it serves
