Two new affordable rental housing buildings with a combined 17 homes are open for Westbank First Nation (WFN) Members, Elders and families in the WFN community, thanks to a partnership between WFN and the Province.

The Province, in partnership with the City of Vancouver, Lu’ma Native Housing Society and the federal government, is proposing to create approximately 50 new supportive homes for people experiencing homelessness in Vancouver.
