Paquachin Housing Department
Paquachin Housing Department
The provision of housing provides a strong physiological need that all humans have for shelter, yet at the same time supports additional human needs for safety, love, belonging, and providing for one’s family. when managed appropriately, housing can also be a financial asset for the owner and/or a resource for a community.
Addressing Needs
Addressing the housing needs of Pauquachin Nation is a critical step forward for the future development and capacity building within the Nation. Without housing it is considerably challenging for one to contribute to the community and society at large as they are in constant pursuit of attaining their own basic needs of shelter.
A community visioning workshop was held with the Pauquachin Nation members in 2013 to identify the goals and priorities of the community. housing was recognized as the largest priority by community. in addition to house being recognized as on e of the greats concerns among Pauquachin members, the theme of housing has also bee identified as a ‘pillar’ within the Pauquachin Comprehensive Community Plan (CPP) which was developed in conjunction with our housing plan.
