People experiencing homelessness in Kelowna will soon have access to as many as 60 more temporary homes to help them transition into permanent housing! Less than a year ago, Minister Ravi Kahlon and Council announced the joint commitment between the Government of British Columbia and City to partner to provide 180 temporary homes and this site completes that commitment. The sites are funded through the provinces HEART and HEARTH programs, with the City providing municipal land. We’re already seeing big successes at the first two temporary housing sites. STEP Place has been open for less than six months and already nine people have found their way to stable housing, five people now have full time stable employment, twenty people have been connected to Mental Health and Substance Use services at Interior health, and 368 goals have been accomplished!
