Welcome to the
First Nations Market Housing Fund, providing pathways to homeownership for First Nations people.

The Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte (MBQ) are encouraged to have reached the major milestone of having 100 loans backed through the First Nations Market Housing Fund. This initiative has been a huge success for our community…

Just follow your dreams, if you want something you go get it and it takes a lot of support from other people. Don’t give up. You have to keep going no matter what. There is also something that you are going to run into. You just have to push through, and you will get it.

Housing for membership has always been a top priority for the ?akanuxunik’? (the people) of Yaq̓ it ʔa·knuqⱡI’ it (Tobacco Plains Indian Band). During this process we listened to membership’s concerns, we identified and removed some of the barriers that kept them from homeownership. Partnering and being approved by this Fund provides us with some tools that will help us assist members in acquiring homes, and hopefully encourage more members to move back to their lands.
