About this service
The Johnson Street Community (JSC) provides homes for 147 residents at 844 Johnson in Victoria, B.C. Services and supports for residents include four mental health workers available 24 hours a day, everyday; a full-time on-site manager; two home support workers available Monday through Friday; a primary care clinic that includes a full-time licenced practical nurse and a PHS doctor 16 hours/week.
In partnership with Island Health, PHS opened one of three overdose prevention sites (OPS) in Victoria at JSC in December 2016. This was the first such site to be located within housing for the exclusive use of residents. Following approval by Health Canada in December 2017, the OPS was converted into a supervised consumption service (SCS). The embedded service is for residents and registered guests at 844 Johnson Street, to help prevent and reverse overdoses and connect clients with treatment services in Victoria, and is the first SCS to open on Vancouver Island.
