The new home is named “Nenanute K’et’’, which means “Our Place to Dream”.
“Many young people, as they age out of full support services, remain ill-equipped to face the challenges of independent living and for many reasons have difficulty accessing secure and stable options in the current housing market,” said Mary Teegee, CSFS Executive Director of Child and Family Services.
