Rapid Housing Initiative – Horse Dance Lodge
ding 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.
