Enoch Cree Nation broke ground on a new housing development designed to provide approximately 166 affordable homes for its members, with a long-term goal of building over 500 units to address a waiting list of roughly 350 families. The Canadian Infrastructure Bank announced a $30 million loan to fund land servicing, including roads, water and sewer systems, utilities, and solar panel installations, while the First Nations Finance Authority is funding the broader development. Akash Homes is one of four private home builders contracted for the project, constructing units such as four-bedroom duplexes and five-bedroom single-family homes scheduled for completion between March and August.
