Elliott Street Supportive Housing Project – Second Proposal
BC Housing, Proponent for the Elliott Street Housing project, has submitted a second proposal for their Supportive Housing development that would be located on 6 vacant lots within the 300 Block of Elliott Street. Highlights of the second proposal submitted includes:
Removes the short stay shelter and emergency shelter components of the development
Has 32 units of supportive housing with space for staff, programming and common facilities on the first floor.
Floor plans will continue to be a three storey building, although the footprint may be reduced.
30 residential units will be self-contained one-bedroom units with full washroom and kitchen with shared common laundry rooms.
2 units will be used by Northern Health for 4 beds of support recovery.
Next steps include:
BC Housing will issue a Request for Proposal to invite qualified non-profit societies to operate this project.
Once the Operator contract has been awarded, the exact needs for the first floor will be determined and finalized floor plans will be determined.
