Creating healthy, safe, stable homes for people in Vernon

Located at 2600 35 Street, this new building would add 52 permanent, purpose-built studio apartments to the existing My Place site. Turning Points Collaborative Society has been successfully operating My Place for the past year and the new units at My Place 2 would expand on their success. The property has ample space for the new units, is owned by BC Housing and is ready for the development of My Place 2.

Turning Points Collaborative Society (TPCS) is an experienced local non-profit society providing housing and support services to people experiencing homelessness in the region. They would operate the building and provide residents with supports such as meal programs, life and employment skills training, and health and wellness support services. Staff would be onsite 24/7, working with each resident to understand their needs and goals and providing the support they need to have housing stability.

BC Housing and TPCS would select residents in collaboration with local service providers. All new residents would pay rent and sign a program agreement and good neighbour agreement.

Virtual Neighbourhood Information Session

In order to support the successful integration of the building and tenants into the surrounding community, BC Housing and TPCS invite the community to explore ways to build an inclusive community where everyone has the opportunity for safe and healthy places to live and work.

We will be hosting a virtual Neighbourhood Information Session and invite the community to learn more, ask questions, and provide feedback. Registration details will be posted here soon. You can also email questions and comments to communityrelations@bchousing.org.
