The Province, through BC Housing, has purchased the 22-room Single Room Occupancy property at 956 Main Street and 1012 Main Street as part of a long-term plan to provide safe homes with supports as BC Housing and the City of Vancouver take collective action to address the critical needs of people experiencing homelessness in Vancouver.

No operator for the property has been selected yet. The supportive housing services to be provided will include supports such as meals, connection to health services, income assistance and other client focused services. The property will have 24/7 staffing to provide security to residents of the building and the surrounding neighbourhood.

  • My son lives in a room at 956 Main Street. He is on a disability pension and is concerned what will happen to his situation in this building. He likes living where he is and is concerned about the future

    BC Housing has been working closely with the building’s owner and has purchased 956 Main Street with the intention of creating safe, warm homes for people who are or are at risk of homelessness. We want you to know that your son will not be forced to move. He can stay in his home under the same conditions as his current agreement.
