The BC government has made a big investment into providing more year-round permanent shelters.
Just under $300 Million will be put towards building 2,000 housing units and more than $170 million will be provided over three years to 24/7 staffing and support systems.
40 communities, including Prince George, Quesnel and Smithers will benefit from the plan.
The BC government partnered with local municipalities and non-profit organizations to provide more than 640 winter shelter spaces and 800 extreme.
This is all apart of a new action plan to reduce homelessness through permanent housing services.
