Description

The Rural and Native Housing Program (RNH) provides housing for lower income families in rural Manitoba.

To facilitate management of the housing stock, Property Management Agreements have been established between Manitoba Housing and housing service providers. The Manitoba Metis Federation (Community Housing Managers of Manitoba) manages 1,673 units throughout Manitoba, the Wabowden Housing Board manages 63 units in Wabowden and Sagemace Housing Inc. manages 138 units in Camperville.

Coverage Under the program, tenants and homeowners pay no more than 25% of their family income towards housing. The subsidy is provided jointly by the federal and provincial governments.
