US EditionBC Housing Extends Shelter Lease at Super 8 Motel in West Kelowna Through the Winter
- BC Housing extended the lease at the Super 8 Motel in West Kelowna through March 31, 2024, to keep it open as an isolation site for people seeking shelter.
- The extension addressed the continued demand for emergency shelter during COVID-19 and came after earlier indications that the lease would expire without being extended.
- The Super 8 provides shelter for 40 people, and an adjacent temporary shelter operated by Turning Points adds space for 38 more individuals experiencing homelessness.
- Since 2017, Kelowna and West Kelowna communities have added over 2,200 new homes through multiple programs, including 60 upcoming temporary homes at Balsam Place for people at risk of homelessness.
- These measures aim to bring people indoors quickly and improve community stability while a planned housing expansion continues to address homelessness in the region.
