Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation has issued a request for proposals to build a three-apartment accessible home in St. John’s.

The work will see construction of one residential building on Hoyles Avenue on land currently owned by the Crown Corporation. This one-story building will consist of three separate apartments. One of them will be a one-bedroom unit and two will be studio style. The one-bedroom and one studio apartment will be fully wheelchair accessible, while all three apartments will incorporate Universal Design features such as wider doors, lever handles, and grab bars.

The two studio-style units are between 450-500 square feet, and the one-bedroom unit is approximately 700 square feet. These units will support individuals who are experiencing homelessness or who are unsheltered.

This RFP is open until April 16, 2026.
