BC Housing, the Phoenix Transition Society and the Trinity United Church have partnered to build new homes for women and their children at 567 Union Street. The building provides new space for the Harmony House program, which supports mainly Indigenous young, pregnant women and mothers in Prince George who are seeking to prevent their children from entering or remaining in the foster care system.
About Harmony House
The new 22-bed transition house contains private bedrooms and bathrooms, with a shared kitchen and common indoor and outdoor spaces. It functions as one large home where women and their children can live for six months to one year. There are also 12 second stage housing units. These are self-contained suites where women and their children can live independently for up to 18 months.
The Phoenix Transition Society formerly operated the Harmony House program out of a small home and had a long wait list and high demand for their services. This new building offers a critical service for women who require a safe place to raise their children and develop life and parenting skills. The new building allows us to expand the program and meet this important need in the community.
In December 2020, BC Housing and the Phoenix Transition Society hosted Zoom meetings with neighbours and stakeholders to share information and gather feedback on the project. Community feedback was integrated into the final design. Learn more by viewing the Engagement Summary Report.
BC Housing and the Phoenix Transition Society are committed to being good neighbours. We welcome ongoing dialogues with neighbours, and we commit to answering questions and addressing any concerns quickly.
