1. NiGiNan / McArthur Place: 
   Opened in 2023, McArthur Place is a 50-unit supportive housing development operated by NiGiNan Housing Ventures. Modelled after the success of Ambrose Place, the building provides housing and integrated supports for individuals experiencing houselessness who have higher and complex needs, including mental health challenges, addictions, chronic health conditions, and trauma-related symptoms.
   The development includes a mix of bachelor and one-bedroom suites, with 15 accessible units, and provides 24/7 on-site supports including health services, housing support workers, life-skills programming, and coordinated pharmacy services. Residents also have access to cultural supports and Ceremony through regular visits from the NiGiNan Cultural Team. McArthur Place offers specialized managed alcohol and cannabis programs and is located in the mature neighbourhood of Wellington, providing access to shops, services, and community amenities.
   The project was delivered using modular construction through the federal Rapid Housing Initiative (RHI), demonstrating how innovative building approaches can accelerate the delivery of supportive housing.
2. HomeEd / Parkside North
   Parkside North is HomeEd’s newest townhome development located in the award-winning Griesbach community. The project was designed to create welcoming, connected housing in a neighbourhood known for its abundant green space, water features, and walkable amenities.
   The development integrates thoughtful site planning, building orientation, and landscaping to support passive energy performance and strong community connections. Design principles focused on mental health, sustainability, accessibility, community pride, and collaboration, with the concept of the “Journey of Life” informing both the engagement process and architectural design.
   Residents benefit from shared amenities including a shaded courtyard, community garden, barrier-free common spaces, and landscaped pathways. Approximately 21% of the homes are accessible, supporting residents with reduced mobility and diverse needs
3.  Salvation Army /  Grace Village 
   Grace Village is a 175-unit supportive housing development that represents a major investment in both housing stability and climate-conscious building design. Officially opened in 2023 after nearly a decade of planning and development, the project provides supportive housing while integrating leading-edge sustainability features.
   The building is powered almost entirely by solar energy and incorporates ground-source heating, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows. Designed to be net-zero ready, the development significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions while lowering long-term operating costs.
   These green features are expected to save approximately $240,000 in operating costs annually, with projected lifetime savings of nearly $6 million. These savings allow The Salvation Army to reinvest resources into programs and services that support residents and the broader community
