Just over $14 million is being handed out to Ontario's First Nations for social housing projects.
Kenora MP Greg Rickford made the announcement at a Northern Ontario Housing Conference in Thunder Bay.
Rickford says the money will help improve the housing situation on many First Nations.
"This is going to go a long way to create not just social housing," says Rickford, "but opportunities for the Bands to stabilize housing challenges in their communities."
Couchiching First Nations is among area First Nations to benefit, receiving $402-thousand.
