WHAT IS TREATY 7 URBAN INDIAN HOUSING AUTHORITY?

 

Treaty 7 Housing is a Native operated not-for-profit organization which provides subsidized rental units for low to moderate income native families seeking accommodations in the urban areas.

 

 

Developments consist of self-contained units ranging in size from two to four bedroom units ranging in size from two to four bedroom units.  Accommodations are available in Lethbridge, Cardston, and Calgary and in various styles such as townhouses, duplexes, and single family dwellings.  Applicants are approved for a specific size of unit based on the family composition of the household.

ELIGIBILITY:

1.  The total family income must not exceed the core need income threshold.

2.  Applicants must have dependats under the  age of 18 years.

3.  Applicants must be Native.  (A copy of the applicant's Native Status Card will be required.)

 

RENT:

 Rent is based on total household income (i.e. each member of the household that receives an income).  Generally rent is calculated at approximately 25% of the family's gross (before deductions) income.  For those receiving Social Assistance, rent is based according to the shelter rate  allowed for the size of family.

  

 Verification of total household income must be submitted. To provide Income Verification please submit a copy of any document that proves what the income is, such as: a pay stub, a copy of budget informaiton, or a letter from the source of income.  If income changes throughout the year, verification may be required more  often. Utilities and Gas are not included in rent, and are the tenant's responsibility.
