New Affordable Homes Open for Heiltsuk Nation Members
Members from our Lower Mainland Non-Profit (LMNP) team along with Development & Asset Strategies and Communications visited Bella Bella, BC in March for the opening ceremony of 12 new on-reserve affordable rental homes for Heiltsuk Nation members and families. This was the first Indigenous Housing Fund (IHF) project to open in the LMNP region, funded by BC Housing in partnership with Heiltsuk Nation. The 12 new townhome units with 2 and 3 bedrooms provide affordable housing for Heiltsuk members who have been facing a housing crisis for years. Each unit contains a separate upright freezer in recognition of the community's reliance on traditional foods like seafood. In addition to meeting the Heiltsuk Band members, our BC Housing team participated in a ceremony in the beautiful Big House, toured the community and were graciously treated to a special Heiltsuk Indigenous lunch. It was a wonderful experience, and the team was grateful for the very warm welcome.
