La Loche has six new affordable single parent homes after a joint investment from the provincial and federal governments.
The two-bedroom homes are in three semi-detached buildings in the community. They will house six low-income, single-parent families. The families will also receive mentorship and help from Methy Housing Corporation family support workers.
“The federal government is working with our partners in Saskatchewan to provide more affordable housing across the province,” Federal Minister of Northern Affairs and Minister responsible for PrairiesCan Dan Vandal said on behalf of the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Communities Sean Fraser. “Today’s announcement is just one example of collaboration among different levels of government to address the unique housing needs in rural communities.”
Funding partners also included $677,880 from the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation through the rental development program, $420,000 from the federal government through Reaching Home: Canada’s Homeless Strategy, which is part of the National Housing Strategy, $105,000 from the Northern Village of La Loche and $15,000 from Methy Construction and Maintenance Corporation.
