PRINCE GEORGE – The Province has announced funding for more supportive housing on First Avenue in downtown.
That’s where 50 more units of supportive housing will be built.
These units will be built next to, but separately, from the Integrated housing model that is being proposed for the NR Motors location next door.
“The commitment of an additional 50 units of modular housing will further enhance our collective efforts to ensure vulnerable residents with complex needs are able to access supported housing and critical health-care services,” says Mayor Lyn Hall.
BC Housing will select an experienced non-profit service provider to manage the building with staff on-site 24/7 to provide wraparound supports, including meal programs, life skills training and health and wellness support services.
A development permit application has been submitted to the city. If approved, construction of the 50-unit project is anticipated to begin in spring 2021.
In order to ensure the fastest possible delivery of these homes, the project would be built using modular construction.
