Types of Housing BNH Offers
Transitional Housing
Residents in our transitional homes can stay in our facilities for up to 1-year while focusing on attaining affordable housing in the community. It is important to note BNH transitional units are not emergency shelters or emergency treatment centres.
Affordable Housing
Brantford Native Housing offers various affordable housing units and is able to place applicants in housing specific to their household needs. Our long-term affordable housing portfolio is geared to support famillies who are having difficulties meeting full average market rents and/or to continue helping households in their transition along the housing continuum who are trying to attain full market rental living.
