New N.B. homeless living facility up for approval at next council meeting
A new construction project for long-term housing for up to eight homeless people has been proposed in North Battleford, with a second facility proposed for the future.
An open house was held last week for local area residents where the first building is being proposed. The locations being considered are 1132 and 1102, 98th St.
A decision should be made at this Monday’s council meeting towards a discretionary zoning amendment, which could officially give the project the green light.
The project is being developed in partnership with the Saskatchewan Housing Authority, the City of North Battleford and the Battleford’s Indian and Métis Friendship Centre, which will be running the facility once it is built.
