The Downtown Eastside in Vancouver is Canada's poorest postal code and affordable housing for low-income and at-risk residents has been a long struggle for the neighbourhood.
Atira Property Management CEO Janice Abbott explained a new joint effort with the City of Vancouver to the Journal of Commerce that will take shipping containers and convert them into low-cost, high quality housing, starting with an upcoming development on 120 Jackson Ave in the heart of the DTES.
SRO means Single Room Occupancy, and it usually refers to small hotel rooms in the Downtown Eastside in this context, and RFP means Request For Proposals.
