Youth housing “in a crisis”
PRINCE GEORGE – Katisha Paul is from Richmond, while Ashley Ball is from Lower Post. Two very different landscapes and youth perspectives around housing have become of keen interest to the BC Assembly of First Nations.
“I think it’s really important to understand that they have a different perspective. They’re dealing with different issues and I think getting into the housing market is an issue and, you know, the affordability is not there,” explains Regional Chief of the BC Assembly of First Nations, Terry Teegee. Many youth are couch-surfing.”
