Women and children leaving violence in interior B.C. will soon have more safe places to regroup, recover and begin rebuilding their lives.

In response to an urgent need, the Province is building more supportive housing for people in Kelowna experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

More people experiencing homelessness in Kelowna will have safe and secure homes before winter with the opening of Hearthstone, a 46-unit supportive housing project with 24/7 support services.

People in Kelowna experiencing homelessness will have a safe and warm place to stay, as the operation of the Cornerstone temporary shelter has been extended until March 31, 2019.

The Province and the City of Kelowna are working together to provide individuals experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness with access to more supportive housing and shelter spaces.

The Province is providing additional housing and support for individuals who have been homeless or are at risk of homelessness with the purchase and renovation of the Kelowna Good Night Inn, located at 2639 Highway 97 North.

Families with low-to moderate-incomes will benefit from 20 units of affordable rental housing, thanks to a new agreement between the B.C. government and the City of Kelowna.
