The former Trinity Lutheran Church has gone up for sale for $1.19 million. The Hawk Principle Community Service is hoping to purchase the building to support the homeless.
As more Regina residents battle food insecurity or homelessness, one group is hoping a former church could be part of the solution.
Hawk Principle is a mutual aid organization in Regina. Its goal is to provide continuous support for those in the heritage area. “The web of services that everybody thinks exists in the city of Regina right now, overnight it doesn’t exist folks,” said Shawn Koch, co-director of Hawk Principle.“Right now, between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., people don’t have anywhere to go,” she explained. “We’d love to be able to build a supper program in those hours and there’s so much space here to be able to build robust programming.”She hopes a new community hub would relieve some stress on other homeless organizations.
But buying the church could be a difficult task, in part because of the price, but also because of interest.
