Twenty new supportive housing units are set to open on Monday in Regina, as part of the Provincial Approach to Homelessness announced by the government last fall.
The facility will be operated by Regina’s Friendship Centre and the program focuses on the client’s ability to maintain stable housing, while supporting their mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional wellbeing.
In total, the provincial government is investing $40.2 million over two years to develop 155 new supportive housing units in Regina and Saskatoon.
The Ministry of Health is working to identify community partners to provide the supporting programs and services, investing an additional $665,000 this fiscal year.
