Former N.S. hotel being converted to supportive housing almost ready for tenants
The former hotel has been renamed the Overlook and in addition to providing a home to those without, there will be staff on site 24/7 with a variety of supports available.“There will be health and wellness support, addictions services and some housing supports,” said LeBlanc. Staff on hand will include nurses and doctors, personal care workers, counsellors and case managers.
“Supportive housing is about providing services to enable people who have the most needs the ability to remain housed,” said LeBlanc. “It’s about bringing services to them.” The initiative is the first of its kind in Nova Scotia. Graham says construction on the property is set to be completed by Dec. 12 and once occupancy permits are obtained, the expectation is that the first tenants will be able to move in before the end of the year.
