With a majority of housing and services aimed at the homeless population focused in downtown Victoria, there is a demand in the District of Sooke for affordable housing and housing supports, especially for youth who have few local resources or supports.
The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul of Vancouver Island (SSVP) and the M’akola Group of Societies (M’akola) have partnered to provide affordable housing for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal homeless singles in Sooke. Construction is underway and we anticipate opening for October 2014. |
