Sacajawea Non Profit Housing Inc.

At Sacajawea Non-Profit Housing Inc., we are committed to addressing the unique housing needs of Indigenous peoples and families in Hamilton. Our housing offers a variety of units at affordable rates, including rent geared to income, ensuring that Indigenous families can access safe, stable, and culturally relevant housing. This is made possible through a federal assistance program from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), which is administered in partnership with the City of Hamilton’s Housing Department and Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services.

Beyond just providing housing, Sacajawea strives to create an environment that supports the well-being of our residents in culturally grounded ways. We offer a range of programs and services that help residents navigate challenges, access necessary resources, and connect with their Indigenous roots. These programs are designed to empower individuals and families, fostering a sense of community, healing, and cultural pride.

Our approach to housing goes beyond bricks and mortar—it’s about creating a supportive, culturally rich environment where Indigenous families can thrive and build a better future. By offering both affordable housing and culturally relevant support, Sacajawea is working toward long-term stability and healing for Indigenous communities in Hamilton.

Housing the Hearts of Our Nation

Our Mission is to provide affordable, culturally relevant housing for First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples and families in Hamilton, Ontario. We achieve this by acquiring, renovating, and building properties, while offering support to our residents that is rooted in Indigenous culture and values. We manage funds directed toward Indigenous housing and are committed to expanding the number of available units through strategic partnerships, fundraising efforts, and advocacy.

We understand that women-led families are among the most vulnerable, and yet, they are the heart of our communities, as the primary keepers of culture and future generations. In recognition of this, Sacajawea Non-Profit Housing Inc. is proudly a woman-led organization, empowering Indigenous women and families to thrive and build a better future.
