Low Income Housing

Does anyone know where a Non-Aboriginal family with children can get low income housing in Prince Rupert. According to the M’akola Housing website, the former BC Housing here in Prince Rupert is only available to Aboriginal families.

I would give them a call directly here in town and inquire, I think (but could be wrong) that they are handling all of the social housing here. If not, I"m sure that they could steer you in the right direction.

Might wish to contact some of the Councillors on City Council as well, I believe Councillors Thorkelson and Cunningham have been the most involved in that topic and could probably find out more for you as well.

This item from January outlined the nature of the changeover, if you read the announcement from the Provincial Government at the bottom, it doesn’t seem to suggest that what you describe is the actual operating procedure for Prince Rupert.
