Hurd Street Supportive Housing is Open

Mission Community Services Society (MCSS) has announced the opening of a new supportive housing facility at Hurd St., featuring 50 bachelor units with kitchenettes. Residents have begun moving in, and all vacancies are expected to be filled by April. The Hurd St. supportive housing site provides a safe and stable environment for individuals in need, offering access to on-site supports such as health services, enhanced care for 12 residents, group activities, and connections to community resources. Funded by BC Housing and the Ministry of Health, through Fraser Health for enhanced care services, these homes play a vital role in addressing homelessness and supporting vulnerable members of the Mission community.

The City of Mission has played a key role in this initiative, collaborating with MCSS and other agencies to bring the project to fruition. Mayor Paul Horn expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "It is exciting to see this project finally come to life and make a difference in the lives of real people. It has been a long process, but we have learned a great deal and are very grateful to Mission Community Services Society for their partnership. We look forward to building on the work here to provide more affordable and supportive housing in our community."

Access to the supportive housing units is managed through the Coordinated Access and Assessment (CAA) Table, which includes representatives from BC Housing, Fraser Health, local service providers, and community agencies. The CAA Table meets regularly to review applications and assign applicants to available units through a collaborative selection process involving housing providers and referring partners.
