More than 60 First Nations across Canada have requested Version 1 of Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council’s Housing Toolkit.

This news comes as the Toolkit review team works on Phase 3 of the on-reserve rental housing policy development project. Completion date for this work is Oct. 31.

This NmTC initiative is designed to support open-source knowledge sharing and capacity building.

CMHC-AANDC Symposium Held

Housing was on the agenda when Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada held a symposium in Vancouver recently. An NmTC team helped coordinate the well-received event.

Housing experts and industry professionals led a variety of sessions exploring alternative housing options. Topics included higher density housing and mentoring between nations to build capacity in housing management.

Councillors and housing administrators who attended were inspired to work together in building innovative accommodations for families in their communities.
