We were proud to join partners and community members in Prince Rupert this month to celebrate the groundbreaking of 61 new affordable homes. This M’akola Housing Society development will help Indigenous families remain connected to their community, offering 27 three- and four-bedroom units that support multi-generational living.
“The 2300 Bellis Rd. development in Seal Cove is the result of intentional partnerships and Indigenous placemaking through the provision of safe, secure and affordable housing. Nestled between the mountains and the ocean, this project will create 61 new homes that prioritize local residents, including our Ts’msyen hosts. We’re proud and excited to eventually welcome people into their new homes and continue to support the community of Prince Rupert.”
-Kevin Albers, CEO of M’akola Housing Society
This project was made possible with $23.3 million from BC Housing’s Indigenous Housing Fund, and $4.3 million from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
