John Howard Society to no longer be Junction operator by August

The John Howard Society of North Island will no longer be the operator of the Junction by August.

Society is an organization that provides programs and support for children, youth, adults and families in need.

According to interim executive director Colleen Ross, the society has informed BC Housing that they will not renew their contract to operate the Junction, an adult supportive housing unit in Courtenay.

She says the decision came after they reviewed their organizational properties.

“The Junction is not closing. Residents do not have to move and will be able to stay in their homes,” said Ross.

Ross says the society will still operate the Junction till August to give residents the support they need while they and BC Housing look for a new operator.

She adds they will choose a non-profit operator through a fair and open process.

“Once a new operator has been selected, we will schedule an on-site visit with them and the residents at The Junction to meet and get to know one another,” said Ross.

Staff working in the Junction will have the chance to participate in a priority hiring process once a new operator is selected.
