Council approved four permanent supportive housing sites last spring, including this one depicted for King Edward Park.(City of Edmonton)
Five new permanent supportive-housing projects are getting shovel-ready in five Edmonton neighbourhoods this year, despite some pushback from residents to the most recent proposal.
Monday, city council s executive committee approved administration s request to add a fifth site in Westmount to four sites already approved for development.
The Westmount site at 110th Avenue and 130th Street joins sites in McArthur Industrial, King Edward Park, Terrace Heights and Inglewood, approved last spring.
The agreement would see the city sell the land for $1 to housing agency Homeward Trust Foundation, which would oversee the development of up to 60 units in a low-rise apartment complex.
