The Kitasoo Housing Committee works in partnership and cooperation with the elected Chief and Council and community members to provide safe, healthy and affordable housing for Kitasoo/Xai’xais community members and to implement the Housing Program through a fair, equitable and efficient application of housing policies.
The Housing Department does not receive fiscal funding. Band housing is a partnership between Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), and the Kitasoo Band and its members. This means that we must meet our operational agreement in order to continue to receive subsidies for repairs, maintenance, and replacement items. INAC provides money for down payments, CMHC manages mortgages and subsidies, and the Kitasoo Band members are responsible for paying their mortgage or rent.
*There is currently a waitlist for new housing.
