We firmly believe that home ownership will help resolve the housing crisis that is currently raging in many communities.

Our “loan and tools for change” approach aims to expand the range of housing options available. With this approach, the community and its members take the initiative and share responsibility for decisions and financing, based on their own priorities, needs, and means.

First Nations should have access to financing for themselves and their members based on their borrowing capacity and the value of their assets, without the need for the ministerial or Band Council guarantees traditional banks demand.

Our involvement

We work with communities to put access to homeownership policies in place and explore solutions to create or expand the capacity to lend directly to solvent individuals, without the need for a financial guarantee. We accompany communities to implement strategies to create a housing market by creating initiatives that are likely to interest residents to “become homeowners.”
