On-Reserve and Urban Indigenous Housing

MDS is supporting the Chawathil First Nation to develop and construct a 31-unit, multi-residential housing development on Schkam IR #2 reserve lands. This project represents the first new housing developed in Chawathil First Nation Territory (on reserve) in the past 20 years.

This 130-unit affordable rental housing project is designed to support indigenous individuals, families and seniors living in Burnaby.

This project with the Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre created shelter spaces, supportive housing, and affordable rentals for people living in the East Hastings area.
