Welcome to Treaty 7 Urban Indian Housing Authority

Treaty 7 Urban Indian Housing is an Indigenous operated, non-profit organization which provides subsidized rental units for low to moderate income native families seeking accommodations in the urban areas. Treaty 7 UIHA has supported hundreds of families over the years by providing affordable, comfortable housing in the Urban centers of Lethbridge, Calgary and Cardston. The success of T7UIHA can be attributed to a large number of committed community members who have volunteered their time and skills towards the goals of T7UIHA.

Developments consist of self-contained 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.

Maintenance

Rent is based on total household income (ie. 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 the family.

Verification of total

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: notice of assessment, pay stubs, a copy of budget information, 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 tenants responsibility
