Project overview
BC Housing is planning to build up to 84 new homes at 250 Terminal Avenue.
The 5-storey residential apartment building will include:
- 34 affordable homes
- 50 studio homes with support services (supportive housing)
- Indoor and outdoor common areas
- Central kitchen and laundry facilities
- Reception area and office space for staff
The site has hosted 50 units of temporary housing since 2018. Island Crisis Care Society (ICCS) operates this housing called Newcastle Place. These units will close when construction on the new building starts. Current residents will not lose their housing. BC Housing and ICCS will work with all residents to find other homes that meet their needs.
Affordable rental housing provides homes at lower rental rates than the private market. It is available to people and families with low to moderate incomes who may not be eligible for subsidized housing.
Supportive housing is subsidized housing with on-site supports. Residents are adults (19+) who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness. This can include seniors and people with disabilities.
All residents apply to live in supportive housing, sign program agreements and pay rent.
Typical supports include:
- 24/7 staffing
- Daily meals
- Life skills and employment training
- Access to health supports
- Connections to community services
To learn more, check out our Stories from Supportive Housing playlist on YouTube. These short videos show inside several supportive housing buildings. They also share stories from residents, staff and neighbours.
BC Housing will select an experienced non-profit housing operator to manage the building and provide services to the residents.
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.
