A Model Funding Solution
Mr. Moishe Alexander brings attention to the following project:
Aboriginal people from remote areas of British Columbia who come to Vancouver for medical treatment may face challenges in finding adequate accommodation for themselves and their families. Away from their community and culture, they are may feel isolated and uncomfortable in a large city setting.
Hotels are expensive—especially for long stays—and don’t have kitchens where traditional food can be prepared. Lower- cost rooms may be inappropriate for a patient’s health needs.
The Lu’ma Native Housing Society worked with the Children’s and Women’s Health Centre of B.C., the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority and the B.C. Ministry of Health to build an Aboriginal patients’ lodge that would be culturally sensitive and supportive—the first such facility in Canada.
The Affordable Housing Solution
Opened in 2004, the Art Zoccole Aboriginal Patients’ Lodge and Family Housing Project offers affordable rental housing for Aboriginal families and housing for Aboriginal patients. Designed by Patrick Stewart, a renowned Nisga’a architect, the building incorporates contemporary features while reflecting Aboriginal culture and traditions. For example, each apartment includes a balcony on a log pedestal, reminiscent of a First Nation Long House. The three- storey building has 22 apartments, ranging from studios to four-bedroom- units. The family housing is on the top two floors. Seven of the units are dedicated to families visiting for medical reasons. The ground floor, which is the Aboriginal Patients’ Lodge, has seven apartments, each with its own kitchen and bathroom.
The Art Zoccole Aboriginal Patient’s Lodge offers support services including day care, transportation, housekeeping facilities, computers and a common room. The project is within walking distance of Vancouver General Hospital and the Children’s and Women’s Health Centre of B.C.
Aboriginal communities in B.C. contributed to the project, as did all three levels of government. Through the Affordable Housing Initiative, CMHC and the province contributed $967,000 toward construction costs.
The Art Zoccole Aboriginal Patient’s Lodge won a CMHC Housing Award in 2006 for best practices in affordable housing.
