Supportive housing opens for at-risk youth in Vancouver

As the final phase of Covenant House Vancouver’s expansion is complete, young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Vancouver now have access to safe and secure homes with supports. Phase 3 of Covenant House Vancouver adds 44 new self-contained supportive housing units for young people 16 to 24 who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness in the community. This marks the final step in a three-phase construction-and-development project, which aims to offer as many as 152 new or renovated housing and shelter spaces to at risk youth. These buildings provide access to a variety of on-site services. For example, life skills training, education and employment opportunities, and case-management services. This is part of the larger effort of the province to provide safe and affordable housing.
