BC Housing is working with the District of Squamish to identify a site for HEART & HEARTH temporary transitional housing, which will provide safe, stable housing for adults (19+) from the local area who are at risk of experiencing homelessness.

BC Housing is considering both District-owned and non-District-owned sites. No site has been confirmed at this stage. We aim to open this much-needed housing in Squamish by fall-winter 2026.

For more information about this housing, please visit BC Housing's website to learn more. Also see BC Housing's Community FAQ. The District has also developed some additional FAQs relating to the project in Squamish, as well as information about addressing homelessness in Squamish.
