Repairs, renovations coming to 285 affordable housing units in Saskatchewan

May 13, 2025 | 12:26 PM

An affordable housing complex in Prince Albert is among those listed for improvements within the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (SHC).

On Tuesday, the province said this year’s provincial budget is providing more Saskatchewan families with access to safe and appropriate housing with an investment of $9.2 million in new funding to start multi-year repair and renovation projects for 285 SHC-owned units in Prince Albert, Saskatoon and Regina.

“Making rent-ready social housing units available across the province is a top priority,” Social Services Minister Terry Jenson said. “This year’s investment will increase the number of rentable units, reduce vacancies and meet the needs of larger families.”

Plans are underway to begin bringing vacant units back into service and help to better meet housing needs in the three major cities. This includes $1.5 million to replace and repair major building components for 87 units at Bryant Place in Prince Albert (across from Kinsmen Arena on 28th Street).

In Regina, 154 units will see major repairs at a cost of $4.3 million and in Saskatoon $3.4 million will be spent to begin the first phase of renovations for 44 units meant to better serve large families.

Overall, SHC is investing a total of $88.4 million this year to ensure rent-ready units are available across the province. In a press release the province said: “This will support the repair of up to 1,600 provincially owned housing units with capital investments and provide 350 more households with affordable housing this year compared to last year.”
