This initiative included funding to support lot servicing, renovations, the construction of high-density multi-unit dwellings, converting band-owned housing to private ownership, as well as the construction of new social housing projects, the remediation of existing social housing, and complementary housing activities designed to address the housing needs of First Nations peoples.
