VICTORIA The Tiny Homes Village transitional housing project in Victoria has received its first round of residents on Friday. The housing project in the North Park Neighbourhood across from Royal Athletic Park is built out of converted shipping containers and will house 30 people who have been living in parks during the pandemic. The initiative was started by Aryze Developments last December and received huge community support through crowdfunding and from the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness, BC housing, and City of Victoria. The site will be used for the next 18 months while the province builds other, more permanent housing in the region.
