AHMA is the first For Indigenous, By Indigenous housing authority established in Canada. AHMA members manage over 95% of all Indigenous housing units located off-reserve in BC, serving over 10,000 urban Indigenous individuals and families. AHMA advocates broadly for Indigenous housing, provides operational guidance, conducts research, supports asset management, and much more.

AHMA members provide a spectrum of trauma-informed, culturally safe housing, including affordable housing units, homeless shelters, transition homes, supportive housing, and assisted living facilities. Many of AHMA’s members also offer support services, including Elder and Youth programming, homelessness prevention, parenting support, mental health and addictions programs, and complex care.
