Permanent supportive housing complex opens in Lethbridge
After years of waiting, a new supportive housing complex made for vulnerable persons has officially been completed, and delegates of the provincial government are celebrating its grand opening.
Minister of Assisted Living and Social Services, Jason Nixon, alongside MLA’s Nathan Neudorf and Rob Miyashiro commemorated the opening with Lethbridge Housing Authority, who says the first-of-its-kind facility can comfortably house residents indefinitely going through mental health or addition treatments. The new facility holds 30 units alongside a commercial kitchen, recovery services and a cultural room for Indigenous residents.
The project initially had a price tag of $10.2 million however the province is happy to say the project has opened under budget and on time.
