Construction is progressing at 1249 Howe Street where a new, 12-storey building will provide 110 new supportive housing apartments for individuals in Vancouver with HIV/AIDS who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
This project is the ninth development to begin construction under a partnership between the Province and the City of Vancouver to build 14 new social housing developments on city-owned sites to help end homelessness in Vancouver. Three of the sites are already completed. The new units will offer supportive housing to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, including people living on the streets, in shelters, or those living in single room occupancy hotels.
Funding for the development is being provided by:
The Province, through approximately $20.3 million in construction financing, $1 million for pre-development costs and annual operational funding for support services.
The City of Vancouver provided the land valued at $5.9 million, reduced development cost charges valued at $315,000 and regional reduction levies valued at $85,000.
Streetohome Foundation provided $2.2 million to the project, $1 million of which was donated by BMO Financial Group.
The McLaren Housing Society will manage and operate the building. The society will also offer workshops and life skills programs to residents, such as money management, recreational and social activities and food-related programming such as organized community dinners, cooking skills and food safety.
