UPPER NICOLA, B.C. — Elders, families and individuals with the Upper Nicola Band will have access to 26 new affordable rental homes on reserve land.
In a news release issued Monday (March 25), the B.C. government announced Síyáʔ Place at Lot 142 on Douglas Lake Road features 12 separate buildings with a mix of one-, two-, four- and five-bedroom homes. The province says Síyáʔ Place addresses community housing needs and provides a variety of housing types for large intergenerational families, young families and seniors who may have changing needs and wish to stay in their homes as they age.
“We are grateful for our partnership with the Province, through BC Housing, Indigenous Services Canada and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation,” Chief Dan Manuel, president of Upper Nicola Band Housing Society says. “To our members who will be housed in this amazing safe, secure and affordable project, we say: Welcome home.”
The homes will be operated by the Upper Nicola Band Housing Society. Band members will begin moving into their new homes in April 2024.
