QUESNEL – BC Housing has submitted a second proposal for their Supportive Housing Development, the Elliott Street Housing Project. The site is located on six vacant lots along the 300 block of Elliott Street.

The second proposal highlights five key items of the project. It will remove the short stay shelter and emergency shelter. Floor plans will continue to be a three storey building and there will have 32 units of supportive housing with space for staff, programming and common facilities on the first floor. Thirty of the residential units will be independent one-bedroom units with a full washroom and kitchen with shared common laundry rooms. Two of the units will be used for support recovery by Northern Health.

The next step for the project begins with finding a non-profit society to operate it. After that, city council will determine if an open house is required for public opinion.
