Hundreds of new supportive homes proposed for people in Vancouver

BC Housing and the City of Vancouver are taking collective action to address the critical needs of people who are at risk of or are experiencing homelessness in Vancouver by working together to build more than 350 new supportive homes.

Supportive Housing is a vital connection to programs and services

People who are at risk of or are experiencing homelessness are not all the same. They can be young people, seniors, people with disabilities, and anyone who has experienced trauma, poverty, or struggled with the high cost of housing. Each person requires a unique combination of services and programs to support their health and wellbeing.
