Waterloo region based non-profit is bringing affordable housing for Indigenous families in Cambridge

New housing for Indigenous families is coming to Cambridge as the KW Urban Native Wigwam Project builds its first housing project in the city.

It will provide units for 30 families in the Cambridge area by December.

The KW Urban Native Wigwam Project (KWUNWP) is a non-profit organization that started in the Waterloo region in 1987. Their mission is to offer safe, secure, and affordable rent geared-to-income housing for Native people and their families that are in a low or moderate income situation.

For the last 30 years, the number of units for KWUNWP has remained the same, being able to house around 40 families. They are finally getting the chance to expand their outreach in Cambridge, but acquiring the land has been an issue for quite some time.
