Project overview

BC Housing and Canadian Mental Health Association Kamloops (CMHA Kamloops), with the support from the City of Kamloops, are building 55 units of temporary housing at 1453 McGill Road in Kamloops.

The modular building will include:

  • 55 units of temporary housing with support services
  • Indoor and outdoor common areas
  • Central kitchen
  • Shared washroom and laundry facilities
  • Reception area and office space for staff
  • Fenced grounds and on-site parking

This project is funded through the Province’s HEART & HEARTH program. Through this program, we can build and offer housing quickly to people experiencing homelessness. This housing will be in place temporarily while we continue to build more permanent supportive homes across BC.

Temporary housing with supports

Temporary housing with supports provides safe, stable housing for adults (19+) who are at risk of experiencing homelessness. This can include seniors and people with disabilities.

All residents apply to live in temporary housing, sign program agreements and pay rent.

Typical supports include:

  • 24/7 onsite staff support
  • Daily meals
  • Life-skills and employment training
  • Access to health supports
  • Connections to community and social services
  • Access to permanent housing when available

Operator

BC Housing selected CMHA Kamloops to operate this building. Staff will manage the building and provide services to residents.

We commit to being good neighbours. We will share any updates about this project as soon as they are available.

We will share a direct phone number for the building when it opens to address any concerns quickly and collaboratively.
