BC Housing and the City of Kelowna are partnering to build new supportive housing including Complex Care Housing at 1144 Pacific Avenue in Kelowna. This project is an important part of our effort to address and prevent homelessness in the community.

About the project

The City of Kelowna has provided the half-acre property. BC Housing will lead the development of the site. The 3-4-storey building will have at least 40 studio homes, with a central kitchen, laundry, dining/common areas and staff offices.

These homes will be for single adults (19+) of all genders, including seniors and people with disabilities who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

BC Housing will select an experienced non-profit housing operator through a public Request for Proposals. Staff will be onsite 24/7 to provide residents with daily meals, life and employment skills training, and connections to health care and other community services. Interior Health (IH) will provide health services for 20 of the homes being purpose-built to support residents with Complex Care needs.

This project is still in early stages of development. Site work began in June 2024. BC Housing will follow the City of Kelowna’s municipal development process. We currently expect the building to open in 2027.

About Complex Care Housing

Twenty homes in this building will offer Complex Care Housing services. In addition to the supports provided by the non-profit operator, IH will have dedicated staff in place to provide person-centered care focused on primary health care, specialized mental health services, home support, and more. Complex Care Housing has already been successfully implemented in various locations across B.C., including in the Interior. These programs provide residents a better chance at moving out of homelessness and into healthy, stable lives.

Community Engagement

A caring community contributes greatly to the success of people transitioning out of homelessness. We will continue to share updates about this project and keep lines of communication open with neighbours as the project progresses. We will reach out again later this year to connect with neighbours.
