Aboriginal people
Aboriginal people* are eligible for
all programs
offered by BC Housing, if they meet specific eligibility
requirements. In addition, the
programs listed below have been developed
specifically for Aboriginal people.
* A disproportionate number of Aboriginal people in British
Columia are homeless or in core housing need. It is for this reason
that provincial housing strategy,
Housing Matters
BC
, has identified
addressing Aboriginal housing needs
as one of its six key strategies.
