    The applicant has provided this response: Thank you for your question. This health and long-term care facility is being developed by the VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation, which is a non-profit, charitable organization. As such, the funding for the construction is generally supported by charitable donations and in-kind contributions from community, corporate and individual donors. The medical functions and operations of the facility are anticipated to provided by Vancouver Coastal Health through their ongoing health care funding in the Provincial Budget. Once the form of development is supported by the City of Vancouver, the Foundation will undertake a full-cost accounting of the construction costs of the facility.
