April 29, 2024 — Chawathil First Nation, Hope, British Columbia — Indigenous Services Canada

The Government of Canada is dedicated to working with Indigenous communities to ensure their members have access to safe and sustainable housing.

Chawathil First Nation recently completed essential housing repairs to 22 homes within their community. These renovations mark a significant step forward in addressing housing needs and enhancing the quality of life for community members. However, the community recognizes that there is still much work ahead.

After years of grappling with inadequate housing conditions, community leadership undertook a comprehensive review and revitalization of their housing stock. By prioritizing necessary improvements and embarking on a long-term project, the community is poised to make a substantial and enduring impact on the lives of Chawathil First Nation members.

The Government of Canada remains committed to partnering with the Chawathil First Nation to support its vision for improving existing homes and laying the groundwork for future housing plans. Since 2018, Indigenous Services Canada has invested $3.1 million and Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation has provided $150,000 through the National Housing Strategy’s Affordable Housing Fund for housing renovations.
