Transitional Housing for Youth at Little Grand Rapids First Nation
Official title: Little Grand Rapids First Nation Transitional Housing (Temporary Housing)
Indigenous Services Canada is building a transitional housing facility on Little Grand Rapids First Nation reserve lands in Manitoba. The building will provide emergency shelter, recreational programs, and support services for youth and their families. The project includes a garage, parking lot, and connections to water, sewer, and power services.
Why This Matters
This project addresses housing and youth support needs in a remote First Nations community. For families in Little Grand Rapids, it means local access to emergency shelter and youth programs. The facility could help keep vulnerable youth safe and connected to their community.
What Could Change
A new 1,017 square foot transitional housing building would be constructed on reserve lands. Youth in the community would have access to recreational, emergency, and support services. New infrastructure including water, sewer, and power connections would be installed.
