Provincial program to help build homes for Okanagan Indian Band members, people in Vernon
Local Indigenous people in need of housing will see some more local options come online in the near future.
The B.C. Government, through partnerships with Indigenous non-profit housing providers, is supporting the construction of over 1,600 affordable rental homes throughout the province, including almost three dozen for the Okanagan Indian Band and almost 100 more in Vernon.
The province stated there would be a total of 35 new rental homes built in the OKIB. They would be located at the Pebble Park, Head of the Lake, and Whiteman Creek areas.
The investment would also see 90 homes built in partnership with Vernon Native Housing Society at 3610 26th Avenue in Vernon.
