BURNABY, B.C. — People in Burnaby experiencing or at risk of homelessness will have a path off the street if a new proposal for approximately 50 homes is approved.
According to a release, the proposal is a joint submission between BC Housing, the City of Burnaby and Fraser Health, and would see 40 supportive homes and 10 complex-care homes built at 5389 Imperial St.
The site is owned by the City of Burnaby, with the proposal seeing the land leased to BC Housing. The two entities will now take initial steps in rezoning the property and engaging with the community on the project.
The supportive homes will be affordable, self-contained studio apartments with tailored support services from a non-profit operator, the release reads.
The complex-care homes will include onsite health, cultural and social supports provided daily by Fraser Health.
This project is part of a $19 billion housing investment by the B.C. government. Since 2017, the province has more than 93,600 homes that have been delivered or are underway, including more than 4,800 homes in Burnaby, the release adds.
