Province funding new housing for Blackfoot women in Lethbridge
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The city will soon be getting 14 “safe and stable housing units” for Blackfoot women.
Announced by the Alberta government, this housing option will be open to Blackfoot women and their children who are relocating from the Kainai, Siksika, and Piikani reserves.
The province says some of these women may be starting new jobs or attending school while others may be fleeing difficult circumstances and looking for safety and stability.
Seniors and Housing Minister Josephine Pon announced the governments of Alberta and Canada will provide $3.4 million for the project.
