A 52-unit modular housing project in Saanich is set to open by the end of this month, providing permanent homes to people currently living in hotel rooms.
Individual units feature a single bed, private bathroom and shower and a kitchen area with a fridge, hot plate, microwave and sink. The five-storey building also has laundry facilities, a commercial kitchen, a communal area, private rooms for counselling and medical appointments, and a garden where residents can grow whatever they like. Residents will be provided two meals a day.
The federal government provided $6.9 million in funding and the province put up $11.5 million. The province will pay about $1.25 million in annual operating costs. “We also know there are still people on the streets, people who have failed out of housing, so we need to find new ways of reaching them to get them stable enough to move into housing options,” McKenzie said.
