VICTORIA – Those experiencing homelessness throughout the province will soon have a place to call home.
Over 2,000 new supportive homes will be built in 22 communities, three of which are in the northern region. Prince Rupert is confirmed to have 36 homes built, Smithers will have 24 units and Terrace will have 52. All the modular homes will have 24/7 support services.
“Ten months ago, the Premier and I stood in downtown Vancouver and committed to rolling out 2,000 units of modular housing over two years,” said Selina Robinson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. “The response from communities has been incredible. Because of that, people experiencing homelessness are now getting the support they need in hundreds of new homes, with more than 2,000 either built or underway in 22 communities.”
