Solid State Community Industries
Solid State’s new envisioned community hub as a vital development in Surrey, designed to uplift racialized communities by promoting economic independence and stability through economic empowerment and housing. At its core, the project seeks to counter the severe shortage of accessible housing in the area, a pressing issue where over 2,000 families face prohibitive waitlists. This multifaceted development will integrate affordable housing with spaces for businesses and community organizations, creating opportunities for economic growth and job stability for migrant workers. By cultivating a network of self-governed organizations, Solid State aims to become a beacon of socio-economic sustainability for traditionally marginalized groups. As this project moves through its early planning stages, it promises to transform the landscape of community support and empowerment in Surrey.
