Creating healthy, safe, stable homes for people in Duncan

BC Housing, the City of Duncan, and partners are working together to build approximately 48 supportive homes at 260 White Road. These homes will be for people experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, homelessness in Duncan.

The new building will be operated by a non-profit provider that will be selected through a competitive procurement process.

Construction

In October 2023, the modular contractor responsible for construction declared bankruptcy. As a result, work on the 48-unit supportive housing project was paused, as BC Housing secured the site and worked to secure a new contractor.

We’re happy to share the news that construction has now resumed. BC Housing has hired Knappett Projects Inc. to complete the remaining work on this project. Located on Vancouver Island, Knappett is a leader in the construction industry with over 700 completed projects and four decades of experience. Construction is underway with completion expected for Spring 2025.

Community Engagement

To ensure that everyone had an opportunity to learn more, ask questions and provide feedback, BC Housing hosted four neighbourhood dialogues in August 2020. In February 2021, we hosted two more dialogue sessions which focused on the exterior design of the building. Due to COVID-19, these meetings took place virtually. For privacy, these sessions were not recorded, however the PowerPoint presentation can be viewed below:

    Exterior Design Options – Fit Within Community

    There is an urgent need for housing with support services for people experiencing homelessness in Duncan. BC Housing and the City of Duncan are partnering to build new homes for people in need at 260 White Road. This new supportive housing will provide 48 new homes for men and women.

    We want to ensure these new homes fit well into the community. We are seeking input from neighbours into the design of the building exterior. Your input will be used as we make some design decisions. The design options in this survey are not listed in any order. 

    Please review the Exterior Design Options presentation to see the options being considered.
