The proposed building at Cambie Street and Sexsmith Road would create 90 new supportive housing units to address homelessness in the city.
A controversial 90-unit supportive housing development in Richmond has been put on hold until after the fall election. Angela Jung reports.But it was met with fierce opposition from some local residents, who packed a recent community meeting where they raised concerns it would affect public safety.On Friday, the province said it was suspending work on the Cambie Permanent Housing Project, a decision that’s proven unpopular with the city’s mayor.
“Or would they rather deal with them when they are on the street somewhere or in very marginal circumstances just scraping by? I think the way to deal with it is to give them a leg up.” “It’s just postponing it so that they can come back and after the election impose it,” said Sheldon Starrett with the Stop Cambie Permanent Housing group.
