"documenting our self-determination"

​

Your housing portfolio, in whatever way it is structured, will be responsible not only for acquiring and/or developing housing units but also planning and creating policies for to operate them. This means administering the housing portfolio in such a way as to ensure the sustainability of the housing programs and projects that you are managing. This is an opportunity for First Nations to engage in self-governing and self-determining activities which could reduce your reliance on external funding.

The establishment of sound First Nation Housing Policy is recognized as a viable and stable starting point to
begin the developmental process, which in turn creates options for attracting capital and revenues required in expanding the housing portfolio in your community.

​

​Over time sound policy & procedure development can improve First Nation capacity for operational control of your housing portfolio as well as including governance, asset management, financial management and administration.
