Small Town, Big Impact: Filling the Seniors Housing Gap in Fort St. James

Small Town, Big Impact: Filling the Seniors Housing Gap in Fort St. James

How do you create affordable, independent living in a small community? In this episode, we visit Fort St. James, where the new Neghuni Ghunli-un housing facility is providing 36 suites for older adults (55+). Developed in partnership with Nak'azdli Whut'en, this project is the result of a collaboration that reflects the Nation’s leadership in creating culturally safe, community-driven housing solutions. The Nak'azdli Whut'en Nation’s involvement also ensures this project meets the unique needs of its people.


Our guests discuss the challenges of rural housing, the importance of helping seniors age in place, and how keeping elders connected strengthens families, especially in small communities. They also explore why expanding housing efforts into smaller communities is crucial and why focusing beyond the Lower Mainland matters for the future.


Guests:

Paula Wylie, Executive Director, Connexus Community Resources


Kris Neilsen, Family Services and Housing Program Manager, Connexus Community Resources
