Governments invest in supportive housing for Saskatoon

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, June 28, 2024

The federal and provincial governments are investing $360,000 for 23 affordable homes with supportive services in Saskatoon.

The newly renovated Southwinds building will provide homes for people in need. It will be managed by SaskNative Rentals Inc. – Camponi Housing Corp., while onsite access to health and crisis supports, such as food services and case management, will be provided by Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Services (SCIS) and Prairie Harm Reduction.

Ten of the spaces are a part of the Government of Saskatchewan’s provincial approach to homelessness, which includes the creation of 155 supportive housing spaces across the province. The project is expected to be ready for occupancy next month.

Funding provided for the project is:

  • $360,000 of joint funding with Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (SHC) through the federal government’s National Housing (NHS) — Canada Community Housing Initiative (CCHI)
  • $1.25 million from the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA)

Quotes:

“We recognize the vital need for providing housing for our most vulnerable Saskatchewanians. Working with our provincial partners is crucial in helping us find solutions to this, and today’s announcement is a true example of what we can accomplish through commitment and collaboration. Not only are we giving these individuals a safe and affordable place to call home, but we are providing them with the support to build better futures. I am very happy to see our National Housing Strategy come to life through projects like Southwinds.”
— The Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs and Minister responsible for PrairiesCan on behalf of The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities
“The Government of Saskatchewan is proud to support this project that will improve outcomes for individuals who need additional support to live independently. This initiative underscores the important investments we have made to assist individuals experiencing homelessness to access safe and stable housing. Through collaboration with our partners in health and the community, we are providing supports that meet the needs of our most vulnerable citizens.”
— The Honourable Gene Makowsky, Minister of Social Services and Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (SHC)
“Mental Health and Addiction Services Saskatoon is thrilled to partner with the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation, Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Service, Prairie Harm Reduction and SaskNative Rentals to provide housing supports in our community. The opening of the new facility, Southwinds, marks the culmination of the efforts of many and marks an important step in housing those that require this support and whom will benefit from the services and care provided.”
— Zoe Teed-McKay, Interim Executive Director, Mental Health and Addictions Services, Integrated Regina Health, Saskatchewan Health Authority
“Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Service – Intensive Community Support Program is in the business of ending homelessness. Partnerships are key in making this goal a reality. Edwards Manor Permanent Supportive Housing Program is a partnership between Camponi Housing Corp./SaskNative Rentals Inc., Prairie Harm Reduction and Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Service. The founding principle of Edwards Manor is to support participants in their recovery from homelessness rather than having them end up in emergency rooms, police cells or back on the streets. Edwards Manor Permanent Supportive Program has significant cost savings for our community while giving people agency in their own lives. From the words of our participants ‘ever since you’ve been in my life, my life has gotten better’.”
— Tammy MacFarlane, Director of Clinical Services, Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Services
