INVITED TEAMS ONLY. Design Build Public Private Partnership (P3) model George Street Revitalization (GSR) project will see the reinvention of the northernmost block of George Street and transform Seaton House men's shelter into a world-class facility providing specialized care for vulnerable populations, including a long-term care home, a transitional living facility, an emergency shelter, affordable housing, and a community hub serving residents of both the site and the local neighbourhood. GSR will be the catalyst for a more safe and vibrant community for all in the heart of the historic Garden District. Project will include about 622,000 sq ft of new construction and restored heritage buildings. Some proposed features of the new development are:
-an emergency shelter program with 100 beds for men experiencing homelessness;
-a 130-bed, all-gender transitional living program for people experiencing homelessness who require more intensive health care and substance abuse support;
-a long-term care home with 378 beds to better meet the needs of formerly homeless, vulnerable and elderly individuals;
-21 units of affordable housing with supports; and
-a community service hub for program clients as well as members of the surrounding community. ELLISDON INFRASTRUCTURE HEALTHCARE:
