City of Vancouver quashes approval for hotly-debated supportive housing project

The City of Vancouver has withdrawn support for a controversial supportive housing project in Kitsilano after court challenges invalidated its rezoning approval. The project, intended to provide 129 units for vulnerable residents, faced opposition from local groups citing safety concerns. The mayor acknowledged the site was unsuitable, while critics expressed disappointment, emphasizing the need for more supportive housing on Vancouver’s Westside.
