1050 Expo Proposed Institutional Housing

1050 Expo, Vancouver, This property is one of the 12 sites in the City-Province 2007 partnership which is currently intended will be run by St. James Community Service Society & The 127 Society for Housing. There is a development approval for a 9-storey supportive housing building with 133 units on the site, http://vancouver.ca/commsvcs/planning/dpboard/2008/Minutes/aug25.html. However, at the present time funding for all twelve non-market housing schemes has yet to be confirmed by BC Housing (the Provincial agency responsible for funding these projects) and only six are currently under construction. The timing for building the remaining schemes, including 1050 Expo, is not known at the present time as it is entirely dependent on Provincial spending decisions.
