Policies, agreements, and housing resources that support safe, respectful, and community-centered living at Malahat Nation.
The Housing Department is here to help build a community where members feel safe, respected, and at home. We work to provide housing options that are affordable, energy-efficient, and managed with fairness and transparency. In partnership with the Housing Manager, the department oversees day-to-day housing operations and programs so support remains practical, responsive, and grounded in community needs.
The Housing Policy explains how housing is managed on reserve to keep access fair, consistent, and sustainable for members. It covers rental programs, tenant responsibilities, rent and rate-setting, collection processes, and maintenance expectations. Together, these guidelines support safe, well-maintained homes and a stable, supportive living environment for the community.
