City terminates relationship with Kelowna non-profit for failing to end homelessness

City of kelowna will take up all duties performed by journey home society starting in 2024.

Social Sharing

An initiative aimed at eradicating homelessness in Kelowna, B.C., has lost the city's support as the situation has grown worse in recent years.

On Tuesday, Kelowna announced it would end its relationship with the Central Okanagan Journey Home Society, a non-profit organization responsible for implementing the city's five-year strategy to house or shelter over 2,100 people living on the streets by the end of 2025.

The city's decision followed a performance review conducted earlier this year. City council hasn't disclosed the review's findings or a timeline for the disclosure. 

Established in February 2019, the Journey Home Society says it received $150,000 for 2019 and $250,000 annually from 2020 to 2023 — including federal funding — from the City of Kelowna to house people experiencing homelessness.

Agency co-ordinating housing resources

The non-profit positions itself as an agency co-ordinating resources from B.C. Housing, non-profits specializing in homelessness and addictions services, and different levels of government. It had set ambitious targets to achieve what it called  "functional zero" homelessness, which it said meant people wouldn't be chronically unhoused or unsheltered.

The Journey Home Society's predecessor, Journey Home Task Force, which was made up of community leaders and City of Kelowna officials, estimated in 2018 that it would house or shelter an increasing number of people each year: from 165 in 2019 to 722 in 2023. 

The agreement with the city would have expired on Dec. 31, 2023. Instead, the city said, Journey Home's responsibilities co-ordinating resources for building supportive housing and shelters would be incrementally transitioned to a team led by the City of Kelowna. The team will officially take over all the responsibilities on Jan. 1, 2024.

Over the past five years, the organization has facilitated B.C. Housing's construction of more than 300 supportive housing units with mental health and addiction treatment programs provided by non-profits, according to the city.

Failure to attain functional zero homelessness

However, the city says it has not been able to achieve its ultimate goal of achieving functional zero homelessness in the City of Kelowna, whose population grew a staggering 13.5 per cent from 2016 to 2021.

In an interview with local media outlet Castanet last month, Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas said about 130 individuals were still camping along the Okanagan Rail Trail at the north end of Kelowna, and about 100 individuals were left unhoused in other parts of the city.

In a statement Tuesday announcing the decision, Dyas said the city decided to take a "renewed approach" to addressing homelessness that had been complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the drug overdose crisis. 

Dyas says the city will announce details of its new approach this fall.

"[Kelowna] council's priorities are crime and safety and also communication and transparency, so we're going to work upon those priorities and make certain that we're listening to the community," he told host Chris Walker Friday on CBC's Daybreak South .

• Bylaw officers removing people without homes from camp near downtown Kelowna

According to a report by B.C. Housing in 2021, there were 297 people experiencing homelessness in Kelowna on a single night, higher than in neighbouring Interior communities like Vernon (224), Kamloops (206), and Penticton (114).

Journey Home is a success: task force chair

Kyleen Myrah, a business professor at the Okanagan College in Kelowna and co-chair of the Journey Home Task Force, acknowledged what she described as Dyas's and his council's intention to "put their new stamps" on public policies, but said she was proud of Journey Home Society's achievements housing people despite the challenges.

"We went through a pandemic. We've got rising costs and inflation and more unaffordability … you have to deal with a situation in a context that is continually changing.

"Is that a failure? No. It's just that the situation has changed, and it may require some different solutions moving forward," she said on Daybreak South .

• Kelowna mayoral candidates debate housing, transportation and homelessness at election forum

Martin Bell, a Kelowna engineering consultant who also co-chaired the Journey Home Task Force, said he is willing to participate in similar projects in the future, 

"I would do it again — it's really important for the community," he told CBC's  Daybreak South . 

"It was not an easy process. It was a life-changing process too. It was something that very deeply impacted me, and I still can feel it to this day."

Overnight traffic impacts on Harvey Ave. between Water St. and Richter St.

Traffic Advisory

Beginning Saturday, October 5 at 6 p.m. until Monday, October 21 at 6 a.m., motorists can expect intermittent, overnight traffic impacts on Harvey Ave., between Water St. and Richter St. Motorists can expect delays and are advised to use alternate routes or allow extra time for their commute. Businesses will remain accessible, and safety personnel and signage will be in place. 

Closure Schedule: 

• Saturday, October 5: Full closure. Traffic detour routing to Lawrence Avenue, Leon Avenue, Water Street, Richter Street. 
• Sunday, October 6: Full closure. Traffic detour routing to Lawrence Avenue, Leon Avenue, Water Street, Richter Street. 
• Monday, October 7: Westbound lanes closed. Alternating traffic in the eastbound lane.  
• Saturday, October 19: Eastbound lanes closed. Alternating traffic in the westbound lane. 
• Sunday, October 20: Westbound lanes closed. Alternating traffic in the eastbound lane. 

While the full closure is in place, larger commercial and transport trucks will detour to Clement Avenue. Businesses and residents can expect increased traffic overnight on alternative routes, and those travelling should give themselves extra time. 

This work is part of the Bertram Multiuse Overpass project and will create a safer, accessible, and convenient connection over Highway 97 at Bertram St. for pedestrians, cyclists, and other non-motorized users.  

The new overpass will link to the larger active transportation network, connecting the future Bertram Active Transportation Corridor (ATC) within Downtown to the existing Sutherland, Abbott, and Ethel ATCs in the south and east via the Central Green development. The $12.1 million project is funded in partnership between the City of Kelowna, the Government of Canada through the Canada Community Building Fund administered by UBCM, and the Province of BC through the Growing Communities Fund.  

Learn more about this project, its benefits, and timeline at kelowna.ca/cityprojects . 

The City of Kelowna appreciates your patience during this work and apologizes in advance for any inconvenience. Know the route before your commute - visit kelowna.ca/roadreport to plan your journey.
