Community Need
122 of the respondents have lived inNanaimo for more than a year
69 % are male
40 is the average age174 homeless individuals
BC Housing, as part of the Province’s modular-housing program, will build the proposed supportive housing, provide operational and capital funding to develop up to 44 units on city-owned land.
BC Housing works in partnership with the private and non-profit sectors, provincial health authorities and ministries, other levels of government and community groups to develop a range of housing options.
The City of Nanaimo is providing land to accommodate the modular housing project.
The City of Nanaimo adopted an Action Plan (Nanaimo’s Response to Homelessness Action Plan) in 2008. The Plan identifies the needs and priorities for long-term housing and support services for the diversity of people who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness in Nanaimo.
Pacifica Housing will operate the 44 new modular housing units and provide 24/hr support services.
Pacifica Housing is a non-profit charitable organization that provides affordable housing for low income families, persons with a disability and adults who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. We believe in ‘housing first’ and work to break the cycle of homelessness by enabling families and single adults to achieve permanent housing so they can live with dignity, safety and stability.
