As a step in the path towards Indigenous self-government, a First Nation’s controlled Housing & Infrastructure Authority will assume authority and control for First Nations housing and infrastructure program delivery in British Columbia; and deliver associated housing and infrastructure services.
Leading the Way
The FNHIC-BC is one of the first in the country to start creating a First Nations Housing and Infrastructure Authority
The FNHIC-BC was formally established in the fall of 2017 in response to a political mandate from the members of the BC First Nations Leadership Council, with resolutions from BC Assembly of First Nations, First Nations Summit, and Union of BC Indian Chiefs.
