Aboriginal Housing Initiative

The Aboriginal Housing Initiative (AHI) provides funding to develop new, affordable housing for Aboriginal people living off-reserve. This initiative is part of Housing Matters BC , a provincial housing strategy, and helps to ensure that Aboriginal housing needs are being addressed.

AHI overview
Aboriginal Housing Initiative was launched in 2007 with plans to develop over 200 units of off-reserve Aboriginal housing.   This housing will create safe, secure and culturally-appropriate housing for youth, women, elders, and those who are struggling with addiction. This initiative is funded in part through a $50.9 million grant from the Off-Reserve Aboriginal Housing Trust, which had been transferred from the Government of Canada to the Province of B.C.
