Prince George – 397 3rd Avenue

Ariel view of prince george 3rd avenue location


BC Housing and the City of Prince George are building approximately 43 temporary housing units on the City-owned site at 397 3rd Avenue (bordered by London Street, 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue). This proposed development will provide much-needed shelter for people experiencing homelessness in the community.

This project is funded by the Province’s HEARTH program. The Province and the City of Prince George have signed a Memorandum of Understanding formalizing their commitment to work together to better support people who are unhoused and address and prevent encampments in the community.

Development

We will be using modular construction – similar to what is used in logging or mining camps. Each unit is a private room. There will be shared washroom, laundry and kitchen facilities as well as a separate amenity trailer that includes offices, dining area and commercial kitchen.

Our application for an initial 3-year Temporary Use Permit was approved in April 2024.

Site preparation work is now complete and the modular units are in the process of being installed by ATCO Structures and Logistics Ltd.

We are planning to open the housing in Fall 2024.

Our site operator

Connective will operate the housing and provide services to the residents. Connective is a community-based social services non-profit operating across BC and Yukon. Connective is an experienced housing operator, managing four sites in Prince George and more than 750 total emergency, supportive, specialized, and affordable units, and homes province- and territory-wide.

BC Housing selected Connective through a fair and open process to manage this building and provide services to the residents. Connective has a long history of providing innovative, person-centered services that assist individuals to meet their goals and achieve greater independence.

Connective will staff the site 24/7 and support residents. Support services can include:

  • Health-care referrals and wellness checks
  • Outreach, life-skills training, help with housing goals
  • Connection and referral to community services or support groups

You can learn more by visiting connective.ca.

Community Engagement

A caring community can contribute greatly to the success of the housing residents. BC Housing is committed to being a good neighbour and keeping lines of communication open.

Our two community information sessions took place online on March 12 and 19, 2024. We want to thank all participants for their time and thoughtful questions. You can view the engagement summary report and a video recording of the presentation in the sidebar.

We welcome questions and comments at any time by email to communityrelations@bchousing.org.
