Five building sites across Winnipeg have been chosen for new supportive housing residences that will provide\u00a0shelter for people facing challenges, including those who are homeless.<\/p>\n

In a statement from the city,\u00a0Mayor Scott Gillingham said the sites represent the first phase of a plan, and more locations will be announced next year.<\/p>\n

The five sites are vacant city-owned properties. Construction is to begin next year.<\/p>\n

The locations are:<\/p>\n

546 Sherburn St. 1168\/1172 Plessis Rd. 626 Stella Ave. 2546 McPhillips St. 75 Poseidon Bay (corner of parking lot, next to Taylor Avenue). <\/p>\n

Supportive housing is a type of affordable housing that includes wraparound health, wellness and safety services on site.<\/p>\n

It’s designed to help\u00a0people at certain life stages or with challenges like health issues, disabilities\u00a0or other barriers to housing,\u00a0says a city\u00a0document<\/a>, which includes maps of the sites.<\/p>\n

Candidates for the housing include refugees and refugee claimants, people leaving hospitals, youth exiting care, people transitioning from homeless encampments, people at risk of gender-based violence\u00a0and people with mental health needs.<\/p>\n

On-site support will be available to help people to manage health needs, build daily living skills\u00a0and connect with other services in the community.<\/p>\n

“It helps people live more stable, independent and respectful lives,” the city says on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The sites were selected from May to\u00a0July, with rezoning scheduled to take place in September and construction next year.<\/p>\n

Partners to design and develop the buildings\u00a0and non-profit agencies to provide services and operate the buildings\u00a0will be chosen at some point this fall.<\/p>\n

The city is holding three open houses in early September to provide the public with more information on the developments and rezoning process.<\/p>\n

Transcona East End Community Centre\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Sept.\u00a02\u00a0(4 p.m. to 6 p.m.). Cindy Klassen Recreation Complex\u00a0\u2014 Sept.\u00a03\u00a0(5 p.m. to 7 p.m.). Bill and Helen Norrie Library\u00a0\u2014 Sept. 4 (4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.). <\/p>\n

The city will\u00a0apply to rezone the land following the open houses. A public hearing on the rezoning is scheduled for Sept. 12.<\/p>\n
