macushlaw Acts for Hiy̓ám̓ ta Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Housing Society in Acquisition of 165 West 6th Street, North Vancouver

macushlaw is pleased to have supported Hiy̓ám̓ ta Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Housing Society with its funding, financing and acquisition of 165 West 6th Street, North Vancouver, preserving 35 units of affordable housing.

Housing is the Squamish peoples’ number one priority. As the cost of living continues to rise in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh communities’ historical territory, it is more important than ever that the Nation’s people have access to a range of affordable housing options that serve their needs. Hiy̓ám̓ is creating much-needed equitable and affordable homes for our people and reducing the barriers to help bring our people home.

Founded in 2019 by Squamish Nation Council, Hiy̓ám̓ ta Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Housing Society is the not-for-profit organization responsible for building and managing affordable housing for the Nation’s people. Hiy̓ám̓ means “to return home or to come home,” a name so beautifully and aptly given to describe the society’s hopes and dreams to Bring the Squamish People home. 

We are proud to support this organization’s noble purpose and delivery of its mandates in our small way.
