Vancouver has announced the construction of 90 new modular housing units to address homeless camps in the downtown core, at a cost of $6.9 million.
At a news conference Wednesday, Premier David Eby announced that as part of a record $7 billion invested in housing, the largest in Vancouver’s history, the province and city will immediately partner to construct two temporary, “bridge-to-housing projects” to transition individuals in shelters into supportive housing. There will be additional ongoing costs for support and staffing once the housing is operational.
