Who are we?
The Aboriginal Housing Support Centre is an innovative project
developed by Wigwamen
Incorporated and made possible through the City
of Toronto's Homelessness Initiative Fund. AHSC is a non-profit
housing help centre created to support people with their current
housing needs.
What do we hope to accomplish?
We encourage Aboriginal families and individuals who are
paying too much rent for substandard accommodation, to apply
for non-profit housing; and
We provide counselling and support services for families
or individuals who are at risk of losing their private market
rental to remain housed until a non-profit housing unit comes
available.
Who can apply for housing through AHSC?
Any Aboriginal family or individual in need of affordable
housing or at risk of being homeless is eligible for assistance.
What services do we provide?
- Assistance in applying for social housing with Housing
Connections
- Workshops and support groups of interest to Aboriginal
tenants
- Assistance with apartment searches and referrals provided
- Up-to-date information about agencies that serve the Aboriginal
community of Toronto, and the services
they offer
