More help for people experiencing homelessness in Courtenay is on the way now that the province has purchased land for a proposed supportive-housing facility and overnight shelter.

“The proposed development application for the newly purchased property will be a top priority for council and staff, and we look forward to working with B.C. Housing and social-service providers to address this significant need in our community.” The province contributed $4 million for the land through the Supportive Housing Fund. Rezoning will be required for the project to go ahead.
