Aboriginal Housing Management Association (AHMA) was formed in 1995 with a vision to build a sustainable housing sector under one authority to provide the best response to the Aboriginal housing needs in the Province of BC. Today, AHMA is a self-management housing organization that serves urban and rural Aboriginal Peoples and oversees the management of subsidized housing for Aboriginal housing providers, showing continual commitment to the self-determination, management and delivery of quality affordable housing.  A landmark agreement was recently finalized with the B.C. government to transfer the administration of all Aboriginal social housing (including Aboriginal housing units, emergency shelters, and the Aboriginal Homeless Outreach Program) to AHMA.   With the government’s provision of over $30M annually and a strong reputation and track record, AHMA is currently restructuring to meet the operational needs and oversight for the new programs and services and 2,200 additional units.  The organization will continue to focus on delivering a high level of service standards and operational oversight.   

The Role:
