Surrey – 13559 Bentley Road
BC Housing and the City of Surrey are building 60 new homes at 13559 Bentley Road.
The 6-storey residential apartment building will include:
- 60 studio homes with support services (supportive housing)
- Indoor and outdoor common areas
- Central kitchen and laundry facilities
- Reception area and office space for staff
- Fenced grounds with on-site vehicle and bicycle parking
Residents currently living at Safe Sleep, the temporary supportive housing site at 13425 107A Avenue, will be prioritized for these units, ensuring continuity of care and support.
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.
Operator
BC Housing selected Phoenix Society to operate this building. Staff will manage the building and provide services to the residents.
