A new complex containing 98 units of temporary modular housing is coming to Vancouver as part of a newly announced effort to address the homeless crisis. Plans for a further 350 units of permanent supportive housing are also in the works. The temporary modular units are slated to be built at 1580 Vernon Drive in East Vancouver and complete by spring 2021. Strathcona Park in Vancouver is the most recent park location where people living on the streets have created a tent city. Stewart said more housing units could be built if the federal government followed through on commitments to help end street homelessness.
