N.B. Housing Authority joins crime free multi-housing program
North Battleford has the first housing authority in the province to have a complex approved by the crime free multi-housing program.
North Battleford Housing Authority manager Lorrieann Frohlich said staff and board made completing the program at the Cec Davis Estates buildings a priority to become the first housing authority complex in the crime free multi-housing program in Saskatchewan.
“We wanted to ensure our tenants were safe and it gave us a sense of community as well,” she said. “It’s supposed to help everybody work as a small community again and know your neighbour.”
Frohlich said the housing authority was in part prompted to put Cec Davis Estates through the program because of North Battleford’s reputation as a city high in crime.
