We Deserve Safe, Secure Affordable Housing
A housing initiative by and for the Solid State community.
1 & 2 Bedroom Opportunities Targeting for 2026
Our GOALSolid State’s Affordable Housing Society (SSAHS) is a new initiative dedicated to facilitating housing solutions for racialized migrant communities in Surrey and the immediate region.
Current Opportunity
SSAHS is working energetically to secure units for our community starting in 2026. Through our initial partnerships, the units we expect to offer first are:
1 and 2-bedroom units.
While no promises can be made yet, these avenues look promising for individuals, couples, and smaller families looking to move next year.
-
Targeting rents that are manageable for our community members.
-
Prioritizing access to transit in North Surrey and New Westminster.
-
Residents will have access to SSAHS tenant support, including help navigating systems and understanding tenant rights.
Our Future: Multi-Generational Living
-
We are actively advocating for 3, 4, and even 5-bedroom units to support multi-generational families.
-
Our culture values hospitality. We are designing for spaces that allow you to host friends and relatives, whether through larger living rooms, communal dining halls, or bookable guest suites.
-
We are aiming for housing costs that target 30% of gross household income
-
We are prioritizing locations close to transit and community hubs, specifically in North Surrey (Whalley/Guildford) and New Westminster.
Based on deep community research and inspired by the Halal Housing Solutions Lab, we have established core criteria for every project we pursue. We aren't just looking for "units"; we are looking for homes.
We know that 1-2 bedrooms isn't enough for everyone. Our long-term goal is to design and build Family-Sized Units (3, 4, and 5 bedrooms) that support multi-generational living and the "ability to host" friends and relatives.
How We Will Build This
Solid State’s Affordable Housing Society (SSAHS) is a non-profit initiative dedicated to facilitating housing solutions for racialized migrant communities. We are initially delivering these homes through a Partnership Model, working with established developers to handle construction while we focus on the people.
Our Role:
Tenant Support: Removing barriers through education and wrap-around support.
Advocacy: Using data to fight for the design features our families actually need.
