A new supportive housing complex for women is opening in a heritage building in central Edmonton, and the project is completely funded by private interests. Boyle Street said women will be able to live rent free at the flexible housing complex. Depending on the need, Reiniger said, some tenants may be there for two months or two years. McKeen criticized the provincial government for not providing more supportive housing projects with operational money. The city estimates it needs $5.9 million to run five permanent supportive housing complexes providing 210 units, starting later this year.
