NANAIMO — New housing projects from the province and City of Nanaimo intend to replace the two temporary housing sites hastily created to handle the closure of Discontent City.
A substantial announcement from the province on Monday, July 13 unveiled numerous new supportive and affordable housing projects.
It includes a 50 bed supportive housing complex at 250 Terminal Ave., which is currently the site of a temporary housing complex built in late 2018 as Discontent City closed.
The Community Services Building on Prideaux St., which was being transformed into an emergency shelter for the height of the pandemic, will be converted into a 50 bed supportive housing complex.
