1300 Island Highway Housing

People who experience homelessness are as diverse as any other of your neighbours. 

Residents are selected through a thorough assessment process to ensure the program matches the level and types of support that each resident needs.  People currently staying in shelters are prioritized, so that those spaces can be freed up for folks sheltering outdoors.

Connective staff are equipped with training and skills to support residents. As required by BC Housing, this includes, but is not limited to: crisis prevention training; First Aid/CPR; mental health first aid training; domestic violence and safety planning; substance use awareness and safety training; and trauma-informed training.

Connective is a social services nonprofit with 90 years of experience supporting people across BC. We are proud to offer a range of holistic programs to meet the unique needs of people in our communities.  

Like everyone in the community, residents are expected to treat neighbours with respect. Staff are onsite 24/7 and work with residents and neighbours to foster good neighbourhood relations. 

Residents sign a Program Agreement that outlines behaviour expectations especially as it relates to the health and safety of themselves and others.
