Land lease would be effective in early July with centre expected to open in early 2025
A long-awaited navigation centre to provide critical services and temporary beds for Nanaimo residents who have no place to live has moved closer to reality.
The lease would be effective in early July and the centre is expected to open in early 2025, the province said. The centre will not solve all problems, Krog said, “but it is going to improve immeasurably the lives of a whole bunch of people who have suffered from a lack of supports and housing.” They will be able to get the supports and supervision they need, he said.The navigation centre is intended to serve people who are going through long-term homelessness and need a higher level of services than are normally offered in a shelter.
The operator will work in partnership with health providers and offer services to help residents find housing.
