Historically, there had been separate North Battleford and Battleford Housing Authorities, but those have now consolidated into a single authority with a single board. The combined entity is now the largest standalone housing authority out of 24 in the province, with 629 units on 191 properties, contributing to $1 million in property taxes, according to Lavertu. Their assets are owned by Saskatchewan Housing Corporation, with BHA operating as an agency with its own board.
Lavertu also said to accommodate the consolidation of operations, BHA has moved to the new central location on 831-104th Street which will also house their shop and some other operations. It opened to the public Feb. 16.
