Funds are part of a new federal $4.3 billion Indigenous Housing strategy to support improvements to First Nation and Metis housing
A new Indigenous group is seeking control of $300 million in federal government funds meant to deliver housing to remote and rural Aboriginals across Canada.
The new National Urban, Rural, Northern Indigenous Housing Coalition is formed to provide ‘for Indigenous, by Indigenous’ housing solutions, according to a statement from the Aboriginal Housing Management Association . “The Aboriginal Housing Management Association already has an expert strategy that was created to provide safe, affordable, culturally supportive housing for Indigenous people living in urban environments. Adaptable in any province or territory, it’s based on the understanding that only Indigenous people can make decisions for themselves. No one else has the right to do so,” said AHMA CEO, Margaret Pfoh, one of the coalition signatories.
