Rezoning approved for Parksville’s $7M supportive housing project
PARKSVILLE — A $6.9 million, 49-unit supportive housing development has overcome the last significant hurdle towards completion.
Parksville Council approved the rezoning of 222 Corfield St. South for the project with a 5-2 vote Wednesday night. It includes a modular unit for people to live in and 24-hour staffing supports to help residents overcome various obstacles.
It will be operated by the Island Crisis Care Society. Executive director Violet Hayes said they’ll do everything they can to unite the community behind the project.
“We do really want to see the community come together and support this building and especially the people who will be moving in,” she told NanaimoNewsNOW.
