Four Focus Areas. One Connected Housing System.
The Housing Hub organizes its core resources around four connected areas identified through the First Nations & Métis Built Environment work and community conversations. Start with the area that matches the challenge in front of you, then follow the links between them as needed.
Explore the Four Chapters
These areas overlap on purpose. Policy shapes decisions. Training builds capacity. Asset management protects homes. Builds and procurement turn plans into projects.
01
Policy & Governance
Policies, financial practices, applications, tenant responsibilities, leadership roles and fair housing decision-making.
02
Training & Transition
Hiring, orientation, professional development, mentorship, leadership training and succession planning.
03
Asset Management
Operations, records, inspections, maintenance planning, budgets, housing data and long-term asset stewardship.
04
Builds & Procurement
Funding, project planning, drawings, costs, tendering, contracts, construction, inspections and close-out.
Start With the Question You Are Trying to Answer
You do not need to read the Housing Hub from beginning to end. Use the focus areas like a reference guide. A maintenance issue might begin in Asset Management, lead to a training need, then point back to a policy or funding question.
The detailed accordions inside each focus area keep practical guidance easy to access without forcing every visitor through long pages of text.
Example Path
Housing inspections show repeated repair problems
→ Asset Management identifies the pattern
→ Training & Transition supports staff capacity
→ Policy & Governance clarifies responsibilities
→ Builds & Procurement supports a larger repair or replacement project
A Community-Driven Resource
The Housing Hub is intended to support First Nations housing work with practical resources, examples and research-informed guidance. Nations should adapt outside resources to their own laws, governance structures, housing realities and community priorities.
