Fraser Street Program - Supportive Housing
Addictions / Substance Use and Housing / Shelter
Provided by RainCity Housing and Support Society
Offers 30 units of supported housing for people with a mental illness who want to live a substance-free life in an alcohol- and drug-free setting. 24-hour staffing ensures the building is a safe haven where residents can achieve long-term health and stability.
Fraser Street is an alcohol and drug-free program designed to give tenants the kind of infrastructure and stability they want in their lives. This helps with working towards long-term health goals and seeking out independent living. It’s located between the Riley Park and Sunset neighbourhoods of Vancouver.
The program helps people with a mental illness who have gone through substance treatment find employment, re-engage with the community, and ultimately access long-term housing after moving out.
Tenants at Fraser Street have been referred by Vancouver Coastal Health and are pursuing a substance-free life. They have a history of substance use and are making intentional changes in their lives. Many have been homeless, and all are living with mental health challenges.
Each tenant lives in one of 30 studio suites, complete with a kitchen and bathroom and has access to 24/7 support staff that provides services including:
- Social and recreational opportunities
- Learning opportunities
- Links to ongoing recovery meetings
- Employment networking
