First Indigenous Housing Capacity Event

NICHI’s First Indigenous Housing Capacity Event is set to bring together leaders across the Indigenous Housing sector. The event is set to be two and a half days of learning, networking, and exchanging knowledge. For the first event of its kind, we have developed a unique program of workshops, plenaries and learning sessions on the topics of: funding, government relations, wrap around supports, tenant relations, HR and management, development and construction, and organizational growth. We have built the program with Executive Directors, CEOs and high-level management in mind.
