The Regional Municipality of Durham has selected Blue Door as the service operator for the Beaverton Transitional Supportive Housing residence.
The selection was via a comprehensive Expression of Interest process, said a region statement.
With experience launching, operating, and scaling four transitional supportive housing programs, Blue Door is a longstanding registered charity that offers more than 10 innovative and collaborative housing, employment and health programs aimed at addressing the root causes of homelessness, it pointed out.
Beaverton Transitional Supportive Housing is a 47-unit modular housing development that will provide accommodation and access to wraparound services. Transitional supportive housing helps residents physically and mentally, providing the life skills necessary to successfully transition into permanent housing.
Move-in is expected to begin in late 2023, with residents being phased in gradually over time. Priority access will be given to unsheltered residents and those at risk of homelessness in north Durham who require this level of support, said the region.
