New rentals in Swift Current

Twenty-two safe rental suites for families opened recently in Swift Current. Saskatchewan Housing Corporation provided $2.4 million toward the new Silver Sage rental housing development, which cost approximately $4.7 million. The funding balance was provided by Silver Sage Holdings Ltd. The homes are located close to the downtown area, services and shops. The development consists of two two-bedroom and 20 three-bedroom townhouse style units. In addition to the Silver Sage housing development, construction of a new condominium development for 16 entry-level homeowners is underway in Swift Current, with $2 million in financing assistance from the provincial government through the HeadStart on a Home program. Under HeadStart on a Home, municipalities may apply for the loans on behalf of builders and developers.
