The federal government, through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) is providing an annual subsidy and mortgage-loan insurance for a 12-unit housing project in Edmonton for Native families. The units were purchased by the AMISK Housing Association for $1.1 million through an NHA- insured loan. The project includes one two-bedroom, six three-bedroom and five four-bedroom homes. "It is important for the government of Canada to help our Native people find homes in the cities where they choose to live," said Alan Redway, minister of state (housing). AMISK, which was formed in April 1989, recently celebrated the opening of its new office and its first 10 housing units.
