A colourful collection of repurposed sea containers is providing homes for people in need in Courtenay.
A number of factors came together: The club had built projects in the past, sea cans had been successfully converted into homes elsewhere and homelessness had become a serious issue in the community. Critical to the project’s success is the support of Jin and Dali Lin, owners of the Maple Pool Campground and RV Park, where the container homes are based.
This is not sheltered housing with supports around the clock, Davis said — tenants must be able to live on their own and are chosen by the society and the Lins. Aid workers will at times come in to assist some tenants. Tenants can stay as long as they need to, she said. Some have left to return to school and found more traditional housing. “There’s been some success stories like that.”
