Penticton council delays decision on 50-unit tiny homes project due to public opposition and safety concerns.
Penticton city council has postponed its decision on a proposed 50-unit tiny homes project near a dog park until at least December 2, following public opposition and concerns over location, safety, and whether the site would allow substance use.
The project, backed by the province and Indigenous partners, aims to provide transitional housing with support services and is tied to urgent funding deadlines.
Council members cited the need for more community input, with over 1,400 signatures on a petition opposing the plan.
While staff emphasized the critical need for housing amid shelter overcapacity, residents worry about traffic, litter, and inadequate consultation.
The decision will be revisited after further review.
