BC Housing has purchased a three-acre property at 925 Braidwood Road in Courtenay for a proposed supportive housing development as well as a permanent, purpose-built shelter.

BC Housing is initiating discussions with City staff to discuss development plans which will inform the rezoning application and the development approval schedule. Once this meeting has occurred a general timeline can be identified.

As part of BC Housing’s approach to developing purpose-built shelter and supportive housing they will inform and engage with the community on the proposed development and its operations. They will also seek a non-profit operator for supportive housing units and shelter through a BC Housing-led process.
