Join us for an information session on Zoom to learn more about NAN’s Housing Supply Challenge Project: Community-Led Designs for Specialized Housing in the North!

NAN has applied to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC)’s National Housing Strategy – Housing Supply Challenge to focus on the critical, pre-construction components of engagement, design, procurement and implementation planning of housing in NAN First Nations for greatest needs populations: single adults, those in need of housing with supports and those in need of emergency housing. This application builds on the work of the NAN Housing Strategy mandated by Chiefs-in-Assembly in Resolution 18/18.

NAN’s project has been successful in being shortlisted for Round Two and we are currently working on a final application to be submitted on June 15, 2022. Your participation in this information session will allow you to learn more about the project and how you can get more involved!

This project recognizes the challenges that First Nations face in developing alternative housing models specific to the region’s diverse cultures, climates and geographies. Continuing our partnership with Together Design Lab, this application to the CMHC Housing Supply Challenge will assemble a team of frontline community workers, subject experts, housing professionals and individuals with lived experience to produce ready-to-implement housing plans specifically tailored to NAN’s greatest need populations.

The professional and/or lived experience of frontline workers in NAN First Nation communities (such as those supporting housing needs in child welfare, Elder’s homecare, family well-being, and other various capacities, etc) will be integral to this process of designing appropriate housing for these greatest needs populations. As such, we are inviting NAN community members with this experience to learn more how you can participate in this project through a co-design process that looks to produce ready-to-build housing plans.
