Siksika Off-Reserve Affordable Housing (SORAH) hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the Erin Woods Indigenous Housing Development located at 295 Erin Woods Drive SE in Calgary.<\/p>\n

The project follows the award of land at book value through The City of Calgary\u2019s Non-Market Land Sale Program, which was paired with\u00a0up to $4.5 million in capital funding through the federal government Housing Accelerator Fund at $75,000 per door, and a further $4.3 million in capital funding through Maa\u2019too\u2019maa\u2019taapii Aako\u2019iyii\u2019piaya, The City\u2019s Indigenous Housing Program.<\/p>\n

CJWE talks with Samuel Crowfoot, Chief of Siksika Nation, he says \u201cHousing is a fundamental human need, and affordable housing has become increasingly difficult to find across Canada. Siksika Nation is both excited and grateful for this announcement.\u00a0 With nearly half of our Nation\u2019s membership living off-reserve\u2014many of whom reside in Calgary\u2014this project will have a meaningful and lasting impact for our members and their families\u201d.<\/p>\n

The occupancy is expected to be on January 2028.<\/p>\n
