Pretty loosey goosey with the details:

He said the proposed 364 homes are not considered supportive housing, but emphasized the importance of dignified, safe and accessible housing to prevent a person’s mental health from deteriorating.
“Whilst we do hope to serve people living with mental illness, that is a portion of the population that we will serve here with the 364 homes,” Macdonald said.
“It could include low-income seniors, single-parent families because it is multifamily housing, as well—from studios all the way to four bedrooms. But also for nurses, teachers and those working in the trades.”

I think it's clear that 364 units is a huge amount, and having them for lower income people with jobs is great. That many people living in the same building requiring significant support is too much IMO.
