Vancouver – 2930 Renfrew Street

Building rendering only. Subject to change.

Project overview

BC Housing, Lu'ma Native Housing Society, and the City of Vancouver are building 76 new homes at 2930 Renfrew Street.

The 12-storey residential apartment building will include:

• 76 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 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.

Operator

BC Housing selected Lu'ma Native Housing Society to operate this housing. Staff will manage the building and provide services to residents.
