Federal, Saskatchewan governments to redevelop six affordable homes in Regina

REGINA – The governments of Canada and Saskatchewan are investing $2.1 million to redevelop six Regina social housing units.

The six new two-storey homes will be redeveloped from six one-storey homes within the Regency Gardens complex and each of the new homes will have four bedrooms, a release said.

“I am thrilled to see projects like Regency Gardens come to life so that everyone in Canada has a safe and affordable place to call home,” federal Minister of Northern Affairs and Minister Responsible for PrairiesCan Dan Vandal said in a statement.

The $2.1 million in funding for the project is provided through the Government of Canada-Saskatchewan Bi-Lateral Agreement under the National Housing Strategy (NHS), the release said.

All funding provided under the NHS is cost-shared 50/50 by the federal and provincial governments. Funding may reflect a 100 per cent federal contribution while other programs delivered under the NHS-SP may be 100 per cent provincially funded, the release added.
