Beyond the homes themselves, the development will include support services aimed at helping families achieve long-term housing stability. Federal, municipal and Indigenous leaders announced the funding on Saturday.
Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada, said, “We are building a Canada where everyone has a safe and affordable place to call home. Through Budget 2026, we are bringing the necessary supports together and making a significant, long-term investment to address homelessness across Canada.”
“Here in Regina, projects like Namerind Place demonstrate how investments in affordable housing can provide safe, secure homes for Indigenous residents, particularly women and their children, while strengthening communities,” Robertson added.
Others at the announcement included Regina Mayor Chad Bachynski and Buckley Belanger, Secretary of State for Rural Development and Member of Parliament for Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River.
Belanger said, “Budget 2026 is delivering real investments in housing and infrastructure for Saskatchewan and for communities big and small, right across Canada. Here in Regina, the $15 million announced today to help build 48 new affordable homes for Indigenous women and families in Regina is another important example of that work.”
Namerind Place will include a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units and will house up to 168 people.
