 In September 2017, the Government of British Columbia announced a funding commitment of $66 million towards building 600 units of temporary modular housing in Vancouver.In partnership with the B.C Government, temporary modular homes are being built in a matter of months on empty or underutilized City-owned land, providing immediate relief to hundreds of people living without a home, as well as access to 24/7 supports, including life skills training and health services.During the 2008 campaign, Robertson promised he would establish a mental health advocate position, as previously recommended by Vision Vancouver councilor Heather Deal.
