NORTH BATTLEFORD, SASK. — A new co-housing project in North Battleford, Sask. is underway.

The governments of Canada and Saskatchewan along with the Battlefords Indian and Metis Friendship Centre (BIMFC) announced the start of construction of the eight-room facility on Aug. 23.

The facility is meant for hard-to-house individuals in the North Battleford area and is located within walking distance of the Battlefords Friendship Centre, which provides communities services to the Indigenous and metis population in the area.

“For up to eight hard to house individuals, these new units are more than just safe and affordable places to live, they are key to help break the cycle of homelessness and to a better life for the residents who will call them home,” said federal Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Ralph Goodale in a statement.
