East Borderland Community Housing

East Borderland Community Housing Inc is the local not-for-profit community entity which has taken responsibility for funding, constructing, and operating the Elderly Persons’ Housing (EPH) in the RM of Piney. The EPH part of the complex is estimated
to cost approximately $2 million.

East Borderland Phase III is an innovative and unique model that includes a full range of housing options to serve the aging population within our small communities.

It will be composed of 12 personal care beds, 8 supportive housing units and 15 elderly person’s housing units.

  • 20 new jobs- valued at $725,000 per year
  • Housing Units will generate substantial property taxes to the RM of Piney
  • Seniors will remain in the area and will support services, business and social activities.
