BC Housing is building 60 new homes at 3879 Alfred Avenue.
The 3-storey residential apartment building will include:
40 studio homes with support services (supportive housing)
20 permanent shelter spaces with support services
Separate indoor program spaces and outdoor common areas
Separate dining areas and laundry facilities
Separate reception entrance areas and office space for staff
Fenced grounds and on-site parking
Supportive Housing
Supportive housing is subsidized housing with on-site supports. Residents are single adults (19+) who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness. This can include seniors and people with disabilities.
All residents apply to live in supportive housing, sign program agreements and pay rent.
Typical supports include:
24/7 staffing
Daily meals
Life skills and employment training
Access to health supports
Connections to community services
To learn more, check out our Stories from Supportive Housing playlist on YouTube. These short videos show inside several supportive housing buildings. They also share stories from residents, staff and neighbours.
Permanent Shelter
Shelters offer free, immediate places to stay for adults (19+) who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. A guest may stay in a shelter space for one night to a few months or longer. Shelter staff work with each guest to help them move toward stable, permanent housing.
Typical supports include:
Bed and bedding
Shared washrooms and laundry facilities
Daily meals
24/7 staff support
Personalized case planning
Referrals to health care, housing and other community services
Supports and services are for registered shelter guests only.
Operator
BC Housing will select an experienced non-profit housing operator to manage the building and provide services to the residents.
Community Engagement
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 and address any concerns quickly and collaboratively.
