Housing

To provide housing options for safe, affordable, and energy efficient housing
​for ​our members in a manner that is unbiased, transparent, and fair.
HOUSING NEWS
There are 160 housing units registered in Mississauga First Nation. 87% of these units are single-detached dwellings, with apartments and other multi-unit structures accounting for the other 13%. Having a structured Housing Policy will provide Chief and Council, the Housing Committee, and the Housing staff with a framework to deliver the Housing Program to all Band members in a manner that is unbiased, transparent and fair.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
​In conjunction with Chief and Council, the Housing Committee, and staff, the following principles have been established. 

​These Guiding Principles will remain to accommodate our First Nation membership:
  • Chief & Council has delegated the responsibility for most housing related matters to Housing Committee and Housing Staff;
  • Build safe, affordable and energy efficient housing for our band members;
  • Develop a proper maintenance program to ensure a minimum level of health and safety;
  • To extend the useful life of our existing housing stock;
  • Create local employment and provide training opportunities for our members to develop certified trade skills;
  • Develop housing for Band members;
  • To promote home ownership by providing eligible members with access to affordable and competitive mortgages through the Market Based Housing Program.​ ​
