Join NICHI, ensure a URN strategy brings meaningful change

NICHI is positioned to support the development of a National URN Indigenous Housing Strategy and create Canada's first-ever National Indigenous Housing Centre. NICHI will play a vital role in Canada's housing landscape through the development of a national Urban, Rural and Northern strategy and the administration of grants and supports to Indigenous housing providers and service agencies.

Now is the time for us to come together, to ensure traditional knowledge is mobilized to change our future. Members, partners and allies support the URN Declaration. They see the value of standing together to gain strength in a collective voice to access badly needed funding. Become a member. Show you want culturally appropriate support that is For Indigenous By Indigenous.
