Company History

Métis Housing comprises two dedicated entities: Métis Capital Housing Corporation (MCHC), incorporated in 2007, and Métis Urban Housing Corporation of Alberta Inc. (MUHC), incorporated in 1982. Both organizations are proudly owned by the Métis Nation Within Alberta.

We manage rental accommodations for over 3,000 residents in 14 urban centres throughout Alberta, providing affordable housing to Indigenous Albertans. As non-profit corporations, we focus on renting and maintaining our units efficiently, ensuring the sustainability of our operations and administration.

Since 1982, Métis Housing has successfully provided secure, affordable shelter to Indigenous Albertans. We have earned recognition from funders, partners, and the Métis Nation Within Alberta as a reliable and effective provider of housing management services.

Our Home Programs specifically support Métis Citizens by offering rental supplements, home repair assistance, down payment support, and more. These initiatives facilitate a path toward housing stability and self-sufficiency and are designed to reduce financial barriers and enhance the quality of life for our community members.

Métis Housing strives to achieve the highest professionalism in delivering services to Métis and Indigenous people. To meet this objective, it considers its employees to be its most important asset.

All new employees must possess the most attributes possible to fulfill the tasks, duties, and mandates of the position they have been hired to carry out. An underlying duty of each employee is to ensure that all fellow employees and subordinates receive the benefit of their knowledge and expertise and that every employee has an adequate opportunity for learning and development.

As the organizations’ most important assests, employees have the right to truth, honestly, and fair and equitable treatment.

The board and staff of Métis Housing subscribe to and are guided by the following corporate values:

• We operate in accordance with the highest standards in all relationships with tenants, suppliers and the community.
• We foster a climate that encourages innovation and diligence amongst staff and rewards them accordingly.
• We believe in and focus on people development. We want our tenants to be successful at tenancy and fully prepared for future home ownership when the opportunity arises.
• We see our role as much more than a provider of shelter
• We strongly support our community by employing as many Métis and Indigenous people as possible, while recognizing our status as an equal opportunity employer.
• We take pride in being a well-run, professional Métis organisation.
• We value good working relationships with all organisations we interact with.
