938 Mason Street (Wellness House)

Project Overview: The ACEH, in collaboration with BC Housing, is developing the Wellness House at 938 Mason Street. This new facility will provide 30-35 studio and two-bedroom units, offering both individual and family accommodations. It will also deliver wrap-around services, including culturally appropriate social, health, and land-based healing support, tailored for the Indigenous Street Family as they work toward healing and recovery from substance use. This project addresses a critical gap in transitional housing and aims to improve housing stability, health, and social integration for one of the region’s most vulnerable populations.

Project Update: BC Housing sent out a demolition notice on July 31, with construction expected to begin in mid-August. An exterminator has been hired to carry out pest remediation at 938 Mason Street in preparation for the demolition.

The second community meeting was held on April 15th, 2025. Attendees included NPNA representatives, immediate neighbours, and local business owners. Notes from the meeting can be found here.
