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 located downtown at Howe Street for 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.
Streetohome’s contribution to this project is made possible in part because of the generosity of BMO Financial Group and an anonymous donor. Read more about BMO’s gift.
In November 2013, BMO Garden was unveiled at Howe Street in honor of BMO’s contribution to this building.
