Members of the Nazko First Nation gathered today to celebrate the opening of and bless a new affordable housing complex.
A grand opening for the new Sbalyan U’to facility was held by Nazko Chief and Council outside the nineplex this morning.
Located next to their existing 8-unit housing facility, the new building will feature 9-units, most of which are two bedroom units.
Each of the units are intended to house vulnerable groups, such as women, children, and Elders.
Demand has been high, and the Nation says they are currently processing applications, with tennants expected to begin moving in next month.
In total, the project cost roughly $4.4 million, covered entirely by the Federal government, through Indigenous Services Canada and the Rapid Housing Initiative.
