In response to a question regarding why there was no funding in the Hospital District budget for the Regional Housing First Strategy, R. Lapham advised that staff will be reporting in April regarding a memorandum of understanding with BC Housing to provide matching funds and a commitment from Island Health to provide support services in new supportive housing for the homeless. The Hospital District would be involved with the supportive housing component, and if necessary, its capital plan and budget would be amended to support a specific project. For the social housing component, there is sufficient capacity in the requisitions for the Capital Regional Housing Corporation and the Regional Housing Trust Fund to debt finance projects with partnerships.
