(Supplied by Columbia Basin Trust) Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) has partnered with Indigenous communities across the basin to build and improve housing stock. CBT said the projects look to add additional affordable housing options and professional development opportunities. The First Nations Housing Sustainability Initiative was launched by CBT in 2017. In the five years it has been in place, Indigenous communities have built or are developing almost 80 affordable housing units. Another 200 homes have been assessed, renovated or have plans to renovate.

New housing opens doors for Yaq̓it ʔa·knuqⱡi it | ?akinkum+asnuq+?it – Tobacco Plains, Ktunaxa Nation

Posted: May 6, 2021 “It’s where I was born and raised. My heart’s always been here.” That’s how Nasuʔkin (Chief) Heidi Gravelle feels about Yaq̓it ʔa·knuqⱡi’it, home to the Tobacco Plains Indian Band. But after 20 years of spending time away for school and work, “When I first moved back home, there was nowhere for me to live. I couch-surfed for a year.” Many other members have had the same issue. Whether they want to return to the First Nation or already live there, housing options have been tight and less than ideal until recently. Located in its traditional territory of the southeast Kootenays, Yaq̓it ʔa·knuqⱡi’it is now making huge strides in increasing the number, quality and affordability of homes.

Breaking new ground in ʔakisq̓nuk | ?akisqnuk – Columbia Lake, Ktunaxa Nation

Posted: April 3, 2021 Partnerships build housing capacity and job opportunities The three buildings are joined in a U-shape, their doors bright white against the grey siding. Inside, a variety of people live in the two- and three-bedroom units, including a couple with a new baby, a larger family and a single mother. Completed in 2019, the six-plex, located in ʔakisq̓nuk First Nation in Windermere, is one step in a multi-pronged approach to improving housing in the community. “Before that, there had not been any new housing construction for around 30 years,” said Dale Shudra, Housing Manager, with ʔakisq̓nuk. “We had older homes and lots of overcrowding because there was just nowhere to go.” Also, people who had left the community didn’t have access to housing if they wanted to come back.
