New bridge housing will service Kamloops’ most vulnerable
KAMLOOPS — While the timing of the announcement was a little questionable, there no doubt the news of up to 40 spaces for transitional housing on the North Shore is a welcome one in Kamloops.
In a news release Saturday morning, the province announced it has partnered with the Canadian Mental Health Association to create “approximately 30 short-term beds at 185 Royal Ave” with the goal of the facility to “provide residents with 24/7 support to help them transition into more permanent housing.”
Executive Director of the Kamloops branch of the CHMA, Christa Mullaly, says the project is meant to bridge the gap in housing as the new modular housing units announced earlier this year are ready.
