10-Unit Housing Project for Zhiibaahaasing First Nation
Official title: Zhiibaahaasing - 10 Unit Housing Project
Zhiibaahaasing First Nation is building 10 new homes to address housing needs in their community. The project requires clearing 2.4 hectares of land and installing power, water, and communication lines. Five homes will be ready by late fall 2025, with five more by fall 2026.
Why This Matters
This project addresses the housing backlog in Zhiibaahaasing First Nation. Families waiting for homes could finally have a place to call their own. If you're a community member or have ties to the area, this directly affects housing availability.
What Could Change
Ten new housing units ranging from 2 to 4 bedrooms will be built on reserve land. About 2.4 hectares of forested land will be cleared. New infrastructure including power lines, water lines, and communication services will be installed to serve the development.
Key Issues
- Environmental impact of clearing 2.4 hectares of forested land
- Infrastructure requirements for power, water, and communications
