The province and City of Vancouver have announced a deal to open four new temporary winter shelters.
These shelters will provide 160 spaces for the homeless between the end of November and next May, and the Raincity Housing and Support Society will run them.
The provincial government is contributing $1.6 million, while the City is providing the sites.
The province has also agreed to fund 100 transition housing spaces in Vancouver for the next 18 months, while the balance of 14 new supportive housing developments are completed.
