Expression of Interest
For Non-Profit Housing Societies
To Operate Supportive Housing in various locations in the Province of BC
1. Introduction
This Expression of Interest (“EOI”) is issued by BC Housing Management Commission (“BC Housing”) for the purposes of identifying non profit housing providers that are interested in providing property management and support services for individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, at new supportive housing developments on sites located throughout the Province of British Columbia.
BC Housing is currently working to identify specific site locations across the province. Reponses to this EOI will be used to select non profit housing providers to operate site-specific projects.
2. Background and Requirements
In 2017 the Province of British Columbia announced the Rapid Response to Homelessness (‘RRH”) program as an immediate response to the growing issue of homelessness across the province.
Through this program, in partnership with non-profit housing providers, government authorities and community groups, BC Housing will facilitate the creation of new housing with support services for individuals who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness.
RRH responds to the challenge of homelessness by providing residents with a safe place to live and supporting them to achieve their housing and wellness goals. RRH is part of a suite of programs that are available to respond to homelessness, including outreach, rent supplements, shelters and supported housing.
The program incorporates the use of modular construction to expedite the production of this new supported housing capacity. The modular units will be owned by the Provincial Rental Housing Corporation (PRHC) and deployed on land made available by program partners. The use of modular construction will enable some of the developments to be relocated to future sites as needed.
The purpose of this Expression of Interest is to identify those nonprofit housing providers that are interested in providing property management and support services to the developments created through the RRH program.
