The 125 unit development atop of SFU is the SROs and it is also not destined for deep-core needs just a normal SRO run by the Portland housing society.

"The 75 family unit project would accommodate 45 core need families of which half would be for deep core need families. As many of the families in the Downtown Eastside are aboriginal, Affordable, BC Housing and the City will explore a possible partnership with an aboriginal service provider to ensure that the family housing will provide aboriginal families with the necessary cultural support.
The 125 singles unit project would all be targeted to core-need singles living in the areas residential hotels and rooming houses, and 100 of the units would accommodate singles in deep core need. Vancouver Coastal Health Authority will provide services to support the singles who may suffer from mental illness or addictions. For both the family and singles projects priority will be given to residents of the Downtown Eastside."
I would be very happy if you showed me a newer link that contradicts the above. My concern has always been placing "deep core need" people into a residential property. As mentioned earlier, these people should be in some form of treatment centre/institution to get the help they need.
