Naut’sa mawt, a Coast Salish word meaning "together as one", is now open at 1679 McPhee Ave. in Courtenay. We own this five-storey, wood-frame building, and M’akola Housing Society manages it.

It offers 40 affordable studio and one-bedroom homes prioritized for Indigenous people, including Elders and people with disabilities on low to moderate incomes. Rents range from $500 to about $1,300 per month, and nearly 80% of units are fully accessible or adaptable. The building sits next to our Friendship Centre, which delivers 15+ programs and services.

This is possible thanks to the funding from BC Housing, CMHC, the Comox Valley Regional District, the City of Courtenay and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
