This renovation program is fair to all community members. Currently, the bulk of housing renovation income is derived from external agencies. As housing relies heavily on outside resources for renovation funding, we must abide by certain rules (CMHC/ISC rules). Housing would like to make sure that every eligible home will be looked at for current and/or future renovations. We will also make sure that renovations are completed to B.C. building code standards.
Our SFN Housing department can assist Elders with repairs and/or renovations to their own home in keeping with Health and Safety requirements. This is a subsidized program that requires a professional assessment process and must meet funding guidelines. Elders need to contact SFN's Housing Department office for more information.

Each year, SFN Housing conducts assessments.
This applies to:
1) SFN owned Homes
2) Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) funding applications
3) Health and Safety for residents
The reason for these assessments:
• Make sure housing files are kept current and up to date.
• Provides the basis for future funding applications
• Is a requirement of the funding agencies
• Provides SFN housing with a database of information for future planning.

In order to keep the housing programs sustainable, rent collections are imperative. Snuneymuxw First Nation Housing would not be able to make the necessary repairs or renovations if there is no rental income collected.
