Indigenous Supportive Housing Program

May 16, 2023

The government is investing an additional $2.9 million for the Miziwe Biik Development Corporation – for a total of $10.4 million annually – to support homelessness prevention efforts in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) through the province’s Indigenous Supportive Housing Program (ISHP).

The government is also making a $31.1 million investment through Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services (OAHS) with the remaining $653.9 million being distributed to service managers across the province through the Homelessness Prevention Program (HPP).

This funding will provide safe and secure housing to Indigenous people across Ontario, and demonstrates our government’s commitment to tackling homelessness in Ontario and ending the housing supply crisis.

This government is proud to deliver this timely and historic support, and we thank Miziwe Biik and the Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services for their continued partnership as we invest in communities across the province.
