BC Housing is planning to open a permanent shelter at 1726 East Hastings Street.
The renovated 2-storey building will include:
40 beds
Indoor common areas
Central kitchen
Washroom and laundry facilities
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 selected Lookout Housing and Health Society to operate this shelter. Staff will manage the building and provide services to the guests.

We will share a direct phone number for the shelter when it opens and address any concerns quickly and collaboratively.
