What it does
The First Nations On-reserve Housing Program provides funding for First Nations to: plan and manage housing needs; design, construct and acquire new housing units; as well as renovate existing housing units. Working in partnership with First Nations, this program seeks to increase the supply of safe and affordable housing to achieve better housing outcomes for on-reserve residents. The program supports First Nations in their efforts to have reliable and sustainable infrastructure. Decisions on project funding are built around the First Nations Infrastructure Investment Plan process in which communities outline their infrastructure needs. The Department regional offices align those needs with program terms and conditions, criteria, priorities, and resources; and the Department headquarters ensures accountability and the allocation of funds to regions.
