VANCOUVER — British Columbia and the City of Vancouver are building 90 modular housing units with round-the-clock supports for people experiencing homelessness, part of a strategy to disperse tent encampments that officials say are unsafe.
The units scheduled to open next March will be offered to people living in shelters, freeing up shelter spaces for people in encampments including those along Hastings Street and CRAB park in the city's Downtown Eastside.
The aim is to increase the"flow through" of people from shelters to temporary modular housing to supportive housing to affordable rental options, which the B.C. government is also aiming to expand as part of its $7-billion housing plan, he said. Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon said encampments offer a sense of community for some people, but they're not a"safe or suitable form of long-term shelter."
"We can move faster with that particular type of housing. It's available for us to respond quickly and that's what we're looking for," Eby said.
