The McMurray Métis and Wood Buffalo Housing (WBH) signed a Memorandum of Understanding this week.
The new agreement will help address housing issues in Métis communities in the region.
President and CEO of WBH Henry Hunter said in a statement that affordable housing is a major concern for our region.
“Whether it’s long term or emergency housing, these collaborations will help us get a better picture of where the gaps are and where we can possibly partner with them on new initiatives.”
The groups will work together to find a long-term sustainable solutions through a housing needs assessment.
Once gaps in program and service delivery are identified, the issues will be brought to the municipality, province and other groups associated with safe and affordable housing for the Métis community.
