New Aboriginal housing units built in Lethbridge

Eight new housing units have been built in North Lethbridge by the Aboriginal Housing Society. General Manager Boyd Thomas said the new units help address a long-standing housing crisis that some Aboriginal people are experiencing. Lydia First Rider with the Aboriginal Housing Society said these new homes will have a positive impact on those living there. The society received  $1 million from the City’s Affordable Housing Committee to build 12 new rental units. Another project is being built in Copperwood on the westside and will open this summer.
