People experiencing homelessness in Vancouver are moving into 78 new supportive homes, with two more temporary modular housing projects opening in the City of Vancouver that will offer residents, including people with disabilities, a safe and stable place to call home.

The first phase of a new affordable-housing project for families, seniors and people with disabilities is getting underway in Vancouver, in partnership with the Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation.

The Government of British Columbia is investing in people in the Downtown Eastside with approximately 450 units of affordable rental housing being constructed for low- to moderate-income households.
