Vancouver pays entire cost of modular housing for homeless

A new model of modular housing implies construction of a temporary, quick-to-build apartment building.

Vancouver city administration planned to allocate $3.5 million to build the three-storey modular structure. Now, more spending is expected, involving payment for a rent subsidy totalling $222,000, for the purpose to bridge the gap between the income assistance shelter rate of $375 and the break-even rent rate of $850.

The construction will be managed by the city’s housing agency at a cost of $285,000 a year.
