Williams Lake – 845 Carson Drive
Project Overview
BC Housing is proposing to build 51 new homes at 845 Carson Drive.
The 4-storey residential apartment building will include:
- 51 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 with on-site vehicle and bicycle 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 tenancy agreements and pay rent.
Typical supports include:
- 24/7 staffing
- Daily meals
- Life skills and employment training
- On-site wellness services, including harm reduction and referral pathways to substance-use treatment and recovery
- Connections to community services
- Recreational programming
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.
Community Engagement
We commit to being good neighbours. We will share any updates about this project as soon as they are available.
We will share a direct phone number for the building when it opens and address any concerns quickly and collaboratively.
