Meeting the goal of providing the homeless with access to stable housing with integrated support services is a key priority for BC Housing. The single room occupancy (SRO) Renewal Initiative project renewed and restored 13 SRO hotels located in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, currently home to more than 900 residents. The project delivered numerous benefits and improvements for residents, including the quality of maintenance, services and programs delivered. The project also required the preservation of SRO hotels with historical significance that form part of the City of Vancouver’s and Parks Canada’s National Historic Site registries.
