Project overview
BC Housing and Island Health are partnering to bring 22 new homes to 1850 Boxwood Road.
The 3-storey residential apartment building will include:
- 22 studio homes with support services and enhanced health services (Complex Care Housing)
- Indoor and outdoor common areas
- Central kitchen and laundry facilities
- Reception area and office space for staff
- Fenced grounds and on-site parking
Complex Care Housing (CCH) is subsidized housing with on-site supports and enhanced health services. Residents are single adults (19+) who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness and have complex health needs. This can include seniors and people with disabilities.
Typical support services include:
- 24/7 staffing
- Daily meals
- Life skills and employment training
- Connections to community services
In CCH, specialized professionals also provide enhanced health, cultural and social supports to people with more complex needs.
These support services are voluntary and tailored to residents’ needs and goals. They are available to residents in their own home, for as long as they need.
BC Housing will select an experienced non-profit housing operator to manage the building and provide services to the residents.
Island Health will provide the enhanced health services.
We commit to being good neighbours. We will share any updates about this project as soon as they are available.
We will share a direct phone number for the building when it opens and address any concerns quickly and collaboratively.
