To continue the proud tradition of building homes on our land and meet the Nation’s strategic vision of housing every Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Member within a generation, Nexwsxwníw̓ntm ta Úxwumixw (Council) has requested that the Housing Policy be updated.
Ta na wa Shéway I7x̱ w ta Úxwumixw (Planning & Capital Projects), Ts’ixwts’ixwnítway (Member Services), Nexwsp’áyaḵen ta Úxuwmixw (Community Operations), and Hiy̓ám̓ Housing are working together on this important project.
The Project Team can be reached at housingpolicy@squamish.net or 604-904-7474.
Initial engagement sessions were held with Members in February 2022 where a number of questions about housing came up. The Project Team has compiled them into a Housing Q&A booklet. Print copies will be sent to all households.
The information provided in the booklet is also intended to help with future engagement sessions where Members will be asked to provide input on a range of housing issues, such as how the housing list is managed, how homes are allocated, how rental homes are managed etc.
Huy chexw a (thank you) to those Members who expressed interest in joining the Housing Policy Working Group. Applications are now being reviewed by the Project Team. We will announce the names of those selected soon.
