An empty lot on Pacific Avenue in Kelowna, B.C., will soon be home to 20 complex-care and 20 supportive housing units.
The province announced hundreds of more complex-care units for B.C. on Monday, including some here in Kelowna . As our Taya Fast reports, officials could not provide information on just how many people are in need of these services locally.
“It provides the highest level of support for people who are facing a mix of complex and overlapping challenges, helps people who are living with particularly difficult mental health issues including addiction and other health concerns that complicate their everyday life,” said Whiteside.“I’m happy to tell you that of the 500 units that we announced in phase one of the program. We have 443 people in British Columbia receiving care and support in their homes through this program.
“I can’t answer that with any degree of specificity. But I can say with confidence that there are people in our community that both need this kind of housing, as well as will benefit from this housing that we’ve announced today.”“For those dealing with challenges like mental health and substance use alongside housing instability, these units represent more than just a roof over their heads. They signify a valuable opportunity for support and stability,” said Halston.
