The combination of homelessness and HIV/AIDS can result in severe health concerns and expensive emergency services. In partnership with the McLaren Housing Society, the Province of BC and the City of Vancouver, Streetohome has committed $20 million to develop eight city sites, including this 110 unit project. Safe, clean housing units will be available to those living with HIV/AIDS. Residents will experience an improved quality of life by gaining access to health management and wellness programs, life skills programs demonstrating nutrition, housekeeping and budgeting; and links to case managers, education and employment programs.

Construction began in Summer 2011 and is expected to be complete in Spring 2013.
