Provincial Homelessness Initiative

The Provincial Homelessness Initiative (PHI) provides a continuum of housing and support services to help people break the cycle of homelessness.

Program Overview
The Provincial Homelessness Initiative was launched as a result of the Premier's Task Force on Homelessness, Mental Illness and Addictions in December 2004. The Task Force, which consisted of mayors from across the province, recommended PHI as a way to help people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness move beyond temporary shelter to more secure housing, gain greater self-reliance, and achieve appropriate employment.

Through Housing Matters BC , the Province has committed to creating more than 4,000 housing units under the Provincial Homelessness Initiative.

BC Housing allocates funding to developments that integrate subsidized housing with support services for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, people with mental illnesses and physical disabilities, those with drug and alcohol addictions, aboriginal peoples, youth, and women with children fleeing abusive relationships.

To date the Province has acquired 26 Single Room Occupancy hotels in Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster, and is funding pre-development costs for approximately 1,900 city-owned supportive housing units in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, Surrey, Abbotsford, Nanaimo, Maple Ridge, and Campbell River.
