Evaluation of Supporting Tenants, Enabling Pathways (STEP) Pilot
Description The Supporting Tenants, Enabling Pathways (STEP) pilot project seeks to ensure supportive housing units in Vancouver are occupied by people most in need. STEP provides those who are ready to live independently with assistance to help themmove from supportive housing to another affordable housing option. Individuals experiencing homelessness who require supports are then able to move into the vacated supportive housing units. This evaluation will enable BC Housing and project partners to determine whether the STEP pilot is meeting its goals and objectives. Impact The project will review the STEP client outcomes, assess the coordinated approach to creating flow in the housing continuum, and identify best practices, lessons learned and recommendations for programmodifications.
