Poll: McCurdy housing

The City of Kelowna has reached an agreement with BC Housing to change the operating model of a controversial supportive housing complex at 130 McCurdy Rd.

At a special council meeting Wednesday afternoon, Mayor Colin Basran said an agreement was reached Wednesday, which changes the 49-unit facility from one that allows residents to use drugs in the facility to one where residents will have to commit to not using illegal drugs as part of their wellness program.

"Successful applicants to 130 McCurdy Rd. will be a range of people experiencing homelessness, including those who have identified they want support in their recovery journey. People with mental illness, people with physical disabilities, and youth aged 19 to 24," said Basran.
