Living Away From Home

 

We know housing is one of the key reasons why many First Nations people live away from home. Many people choose to live away but we also know that many people want to move back to their home communities. As we create a new housing and infrastructure authority in BC we need to understand how First Nations can remove the barriers for people wishing to move home. Please join us for an online focus group to discuss the housing concerns of people living away from their communities.
