Indigenous Services Canada’s (ISC’s) Housing Support Program (HSP), formerly known as New Approach for Housing Support (NAHS) Program, supports First Nations in British Columbia to better and more effectively leverage funding, develop housing plans and policies and manage housing in their communities.
There are 2 separate HSP applications. First Nation applicants complete the relevant application(s) which support the housing priorities in their community:
- Governance and Capacity Application – Supports the creation of housing policies and plans, as well as training and capacity development.
- Housing Support Program Application – Provides a subsidy towards new home construction or purchase, regular and health and safety renovations and is inclusive of building inspection costs. Also provides a flat rate towards the construction of multi-unit (3 or more units) residential homes, which includes site preparation, building inspection costs and project management costs.
