Group Homes
BC Housing staff provide administration and
property management support for group homes owned by the Provincial
Rental Housing Corporation (PRHC). BC Housing works with sponsors
and operators to provide group homes for special needs residents in
British Columbia. Two separate guides provide information on these
PRHC group homes for:
-
Sponsoring ministries/health authorities
-
Group home operators
The guides contain Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs) about PHRC group homes, and explain the role of BC
Housing’s property portfolio managers.
-
Group Home Guide for Sponsors - Explains how the PRHC group home partnership model works, and describes each partner’s role in managing PRHC group homes.
-
Group Home Guide for Operators - Outlines the responsibilities of PRHC group home operators, who provide programs and services for residents and handle minor maintenance in the home.
