Addressing Aboriginal Housing Need
The provincial housing strategy,
Housing Matters BC , recognizes the
need to address Aboriginal housing for
the disproportionate number of Aboriginal households in
British Columbia who are homeless or living in core housing need.
BC Housing is working in partnership with the
Aboriginal Housing
Management Association
and the Aboriginal community to achieve this common goal
by:
-
Providing subsidy to over 3,800 Aboriginal housing units across British Columbia. Find an Aboriginal housing provider.
-
Reaching out through the Aboriginal Homeless Outreach Program to find housing for Aboriginal people who are living on the streets. Find an outreach provider.
-
Developing new housing through the Aboriginal Housing Initiative for Aboriginal people living off-reserve. Check out the new Aboriginal housing developments.
-
Transferring the administration of the off-reserve Aboriginal housing units to the Aboriginal Housing Management Association. Learn more about devolution.
