Twenty-two Swift Current families will soon have a place to call home thanks to the development of new affordable housing units.
Government Services Minister Laura Ross on behalf of Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation June Draude, joined Chairman Edmund Bellegarde from the Silver Sage Housing Corporation at an official sod turning this morning to celebrate the new housing development. The Government of Saskatchewan will provide $2.4 million in capital funding to support the project.
"I am excited to see developments like this under construction," Ross said. "These new dwellings will increase housing supply and support families in greatest need - two goals of the recently announced provincial housing strategy and action plan."
"This new housing development supports our organization's founding principles that recognize the portability of our Treaty Right to Shelter for our Members living off-reserve," Chairman of the Silver Sage Board of Directors and File Hills Qu'Appelle Tribal Chairman Edmund Bellegarde said. "These new units will give access to modern and affordable housing for 22 families. We will continue working with our partners and the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation and City of Swift Current to address the needs for affordable housing for our urban families."
Located close to the downtown area, services and shops at 755 - 1st Avenue NW, the development consists of 22 townhouse style units. The project is being undertaken by Silver Sage Housing Corporation, a non-profit housing organization dedicated to housing First Nations people in well maintained, affordable rental units.
These 22 new units will add to the 24 units currently under construction in Swift Current. In addition, 11 new rental units have been completed and funded by the Province of Saskatchewan since November 2007.
Last month, the Government of Saskatchewan released A Strong Foundation - The Housing Strategy for Saskatchewan, as well as the Provincial Action Plan 2011-12, which outlines the government's key activities for the strategy's first year of implementation.
