This project transforms the existing Shaldon Hotel into a new social housing building for Indigenous families with lower incomes and supportive studio units for adults receiving income assistance in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. The first three floors will house an Indigenous Healing Centre and a traditional longhouse space that will provide Indigenous and community care services, and space for gathering, recreation, and celebration.
