As a nonprofit dedicated to providing mixed-income housing solutions, we understand that stable, affordable housing is not just about having a roof over your head. It's about creating the foundation for good health, well-being, and the opportunity to thrive.

Though the world around has changed substantially since the proposal for what would become NHA was first submitted for community and government backing in 1977, we have remained committed to the foundational elements of who we are, why we exist, and how we honour our mission.

Affordable housing is more than just a place to live — it’s a foundation for stability, independence, and well-being. NHA works to tailor the way in which we add to our portfolio and maintain our units, to meet the specific needs of these groups.

Here are some of the ways that NHA prioritizes accessibility, fosters transparency, and maintains a diverse housing portfolio to support these – and all of our – residents.

Thank you to so many incredible businesses, politicians, friends, residents, staff, volunteers, partners, and sponsors for all you do.

Here at NHA we’re big fans of transparency, which you may know if you’ve been in our world for a while! That’s why we thought we’d take some of the conversations coming up at recent events and Community Advisory Group meetings (our quarterly meetings with and for residents) and share them with the big, wide world.

Our leasing process itself is not all that complicated, but understanding how to get into a unit with us can be more nuanced. So here we’ll address both pieces. Let’s dive in!

Environmental sustainability is a complex and nuanced value, but it’s one we’ve opted to live by here at NHA. We recognize that there are many environmental actions that support long term affordability so that successive generations can access appropriate housing…
