Revitalization of Dewdney Avenue Continues in 2025
The City will also provide advance notice of changes to road closures and traffic restrictions as
work progresses. Residents can also check the Road Report at
Regina.ca/roads for current traffic restrictions. The Road Report
continues to be integrated directly into Waze, which populates closures onto Google Maps, allowing
drivers to access this information from both popular navigation apps. Transit routes along Dewdney
Avenue will continue to be temporarily relocated to 8th Avenue during construction. Please check
TransitLive for up-to-date information. The first phase of construction in 2025 is scheduled to
start on April 7 and will last approximately 2-3 months. This phase will see two full road closures
on Dewdney Avenue, from Albert Street to Lorne Street and from Scarth Street to Broad Street. These
closures will support the continued installation of underground wastewater, stormwater and water
infrastructure and allow for the completion of the road surface. Yards parking can be accessed via
Scarth Street during this phase of the construction. A wayfinding map, real-time updates on
construction progress and project details can also be found on the project website. The Dewdney
Avenue Corridor Revitalization Project is part of the City Centre Revitalization Plan to create a
walkable, welcoming and safe city centre that attracts more people and businesses to live, work,
visit and invest. -30- Media Contact: mediarelations@regina.ca 306-777-7486

Rapid Housing Initiative – Horse Dance Lodge
s (land use, zoning, building code) similar to all development projects within the City Information
sharing with the public On-going monitoring and reporting to CMHC
over the 20-year agreement timeline What type of housing will this project be? This RHI project is
considered transitional or supportive housing. This is longer-term housing that is distinct and
different from emergency shelters, drop-ins and other forms of temporary accommodations. The
building itself will hold 29 apartments as well as office and communal space to provide support
services to residents. Purpose built supportive housing provides safety, stability, and dignity to
residents and allows them to improve their lives and integrate within the community. This may
include reuniting with children or other family members, attending school or other training and
obtaining employment. Supportive housing is an important part of the housing continuum and a
critical component to ending hoseelessness and building healthy, safe and inclusive neighbourhoods.
What is the need for supportive housing in Regina? Regina’s most recent Point-In-Time Count
(September 2021) found 488 people experiencing houselessness. Although not all of these individuals
would be assessed to need supportive housing, the number of individuals in our City experiencing
houselessness is growing and the number of people waiting for supportive housing placements remains
high. This RHI project will help to address the need for additional longer-term supportive housing,
which houses residents who have chosen to exit houseelessness and are taking steps towards healing
and community integration. Who is going to operate the building? The partnership of Silver Sage
Holdings Ltd. (SSH) and Regina Treaty/Status Indian Services (RTSIS) was selected through a grant
application process. These Indigenous organizations represent a solid partnership with a proven
track record of providing safe, secure, affordable housing and support services. They have
experience supporting individuals who are transitioning to permanent housing. SSH is the largest
off-reserve housing provider in Saskatchewan and has been working to advance social housing
outcomes in Regina for Indigenous clients since 1983. Since 1994, RTSIS has been working as the
exclusive Indigenous-owned and governed, human services delivery agency providing a wide range of
program and service interventions to multi-barrier clients in and around Regina. RTSIS works with a
network of service delivery partnerships to ensure clients have access to a continuum of social
services that can help support them in making successful transitions to independence, wellness and
community belonging. Who will live in this housing development? SSH and RTSIS intend to manage an
inclusive space that is open to men, women and children, including 2SLGBTQ+ residents. SSH and
RTSIS provide “status-blind” services and are committed to serving people in need, regardless of
race, ethnicity or any other factor. A condition of the Rapid Housing Initiative (RHI) funding is
that a minimum of 25% of units be targeted towards women or women and their children. This is a
consistent expectation for all RHI projects across Canada. The funding also targets a minimum of
15% of units be targeted towards Indigenous residents. This RHI project is likely to exceed this
target as Indigenous people are over-represented among those who require access to supportive
housing in Regina. What support services will the residents receive? Support services will be
tailored to the individual needs of each resident. Some services will be provided on-site, and
others will be managed in partnership with other community service organizations and agencies like
the Saskatchewan Health Authority. Supports provided to residents may include: Healthy Living –
meal preparation, nutrition, personal care Social Inclusion – counselling, life skill training,
access to programs and services Cultural – access to healing spaces, traditional medicines,
traditional learning opportunities with Elders and Knowledge keepers How much did the site cost?
The City purchased the property for $1,200,000 which was funded through the federal government’s
RHI allocation to the City of Regina. The appraised value of the property is $1,553,000. Who is
funding the development? The Federal Government allocated $7.75 million in capital funding through
the RHI to the City of Regina. The program and funding is administered by the Canadian Mortgage and
Housing Corporation (CMHC). The Government of Saskatchewan is providing an additional $783,000
10-year forgivable loan towards the capital development of the RHI project. The City is
contributing $615,000 in capital funding through the Housing Incentive Program (HIP) and is
providing operating funding of $1 million annually to provide
support services to the residents at the building through the Permanent Supportive Housing
Operating Grant.
