A partnership between the Province, through B.C. Housing, and the Daylu Dena Council is bringing a new Indigenous housing project for women and children experiencing homelessness to Lower Post.
The new development will provide 16 new homes in two separate wings. This includes, six units of women’s transition housing for women and children in need of a safe home and 10 units of supportive housing for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
The units will have a private bathroom and a mini kitchen. The shared amenities amongst the rooms will be, laundry, a commercial kitchen and a dining lounge. The building will also have a medical room to provide on-site care.
The Lower Post First Nation Society will manage the building and provide residents with support services. Residents will also have access to teachings from elders and programming that will focus on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
