Projects include supportive units, a new youth-focused building and a health clinic
The province has updated the community with information about 100 new residential units for people facing homelessness and other issues in Prince George.
Connective, which operates the existing 50-unit supportive housing project at 160 Ontario St., will manage the new building as well. Northern Health will provide health services to the complex-care units, designed for people with complex health, mental-health and/or addiction issues, and operate the 9,000-square-foot health clinic.
With occupancy expected in spring 2025, the building will have 40 supportive homes for youth ages 14-18 and young people aging out of care, up to age 27, in studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments. The Prince George Native Friendship Centre will manage the building, with eight support staff on-site around the clock.
