VANCOUVER — Construction has started on a new multi-use development with 97 non-market homes and a new health-care treatment centre at 1636 Clark Dr. and 1321-1395 East 1st Ave.
These rental homes will be operated by the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Affordable Housing Society.
The development also includes a new withdrawal management centre with 51 medically supervised detox beds, 20 sobering beds and 20 short-term transitional beds, states a release.
Transitional beds will be available for clients who have completed treatment through the withdrawal management centre and are waiting for support recovery and treatment beds in the region.
The centre will be operated by Vancouver Coastal Health and will replace the existing Vancouver Detox Centre.
The building will also house a space for Indigenous-led programs.
The project is a partnership of the province, through BC Housing, Vancouver Coastal Health, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the City of Vancouver. The development is expected to take approximately three years to build. Construction will likely be complete in 2028.
The project is part of a $19-billion housing investment by the B.C. government.
