Housing and transitional support initiatives receive federal funding
Federal funding is helping to address the need for safe and affordable urban, rural and northern Indigenous housing projects in North Bay.
Anthony Rota, MP for Nipissing-Timiskaming, announced $1 million for Endaayaan Awejaa, a start-up non-profit organization that provides youth and families with safe places to heal and build solid foundations for their future.
The money will be used for capacity building and enable the hiring of six staff members.
Their primary focus will be on housing and transitional support initiatives that currently support 100 youth.
“This funding enables Endaayaan Awejaa to hire a team that can focus in on the crucial issue of housing in a way that lines up with the values and traditions important to the members of indigenous society,” says Rota.
Through the national process, $280.4 million out of a total funding amount of $281.5 million is being distributed to 73 projects across the country aimed at building approximately 3,781 units.
This funding is being distributed by National Indigenous Collaborative Housing Incorporated.
