What is supportive housing?
Supportive housing is a self-contained studio home. It typically includes 24/7 support services such as meals, life and employment skills training, and health services. Many also provide culturally informed services.
Supportive housing is for British Columbians experiencing or at risk of homelessness. People experiencing homelessness are not all the same. They can be young people, seniors, or people with physical or mental disabilities. They may have experienced trauma, poverty, or struggled with the high cost of housing. Staff are on-site 24/7 and work with each resident to understand their needs and help them achieve stable housing.
Applicants go through an assessment process to ensure supports are available based on the person’s needs. All residents pay rent and sign a program agreement (link a tenancy agreement).
