Women and children in need of safe, secure housing will soon have 11 new homes in Secwépemc Lakes territory in Chase.
BC Housing, in partnership with the Sna7a Transition House Society — a grassroots initiative started by First Nations women from the Adams Lake band, Neskonlith band and Skwlāx te Secwépemcu’lecw — has been working since 2019 to bring the project to life in Secwépemc territory.
The Village of Chase said the building will include a mix of townhomes and apartments and will be managed by the Sna7a Transition House Society.
“This project will provide much needed housing for women and children,” the village said in a statement.
Construction is expected to be complete in 2027.
