Alberta’s government is celebrating construction progress on the Kikinow Elders Lodge, which will provide affordable homes for aging Indigenous Elders in MD of Greenview.
Construction is well underway on the Kikinow Elders Lodge in Victor Lake, which is nestled in nature with mountain views. This one-of-a-kind 12-unit lodge will provide aging Indigenous Elders with an affordable, supportive and culturally appropriate place to call home.
Through the Indigenous Housing Capital Program, Alberta’s government has invested more than $2 million to support this project. By collaborating with Indigenous communities, the province is supporting the development, delivery and ownership of more affordable homes built by Indigenous communities for Indigenous peoples in need.
By strengthening cultural connections and empowering local partners, Alberta’s government is ensuring that Indigenous communities across the province have the necessary resources needed to meet the unique housing needs of their communities.
The Indigenous Housing Capital Program supports Indigenous governments and communities in building affordable off-reserve, off-settlement and on-settlement housing. A grand opening will take place once construction is complete early in 2025.
