Terrace – Tetrault Street
BC Housing may be purchasing land in Terrace to build more housing for community members. We are proposing to build up to 35 new affordable homes with support services at 2802, 2804, and 2812 Tetrault Street in Terrace.
The 2023 Point-in-Time homeless count identified 156 people as experiencing homelessness in Terrace. This is a 46% increase from the previous count in 2022. This proposed housing project is an important part of our effort to address and prevent homelessness in Terrace.
What is supportive housing?
Supportive homes are individual apartments for people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness and need support services to maintain their housing. Residents would be for single adults of all genders and include seniors, and people with disabilities. Priority would be given to people in the local community.
Supportive housing includes 24/7 support services such as meals, life and employment skills training, and health and wellness supports. Many also provide culturally informed services.
BC Housing would select a non-profit housing operator through a fair and open process to manage this building and provide services to the residents.
Development
The 2812 Tetrault St. site is already zoned for residential use with a base density of 35 units. Next, BC Housing will submit a Development Permit application for this project.

Bridges Supportive Housing is located in Quesnel, BC and offers residents 24-hour services to help them transition to independence and recovery.
The Quesnel Shelter & Support Society manages the site and offers residents life and social skills training, access to community services and support groups, as well as a meal program and activities that include cultural programming.
The 32 supportive homes in the three-storey building are self-contained, with private bathrooms and kitchens. Four of the homes are support recovery units, funded and managed by Northern Health.
Support services are provided to residents with addiction issues who have either completed a primary withdrawal management program, are waiting for treatment, or those who are ready to integrate back to the community.
