Canada’s longest-running First Nations Housing Conference

For over 23 years, the First Nations Housing Conference (FNHC), hosted by the First Nations Housing Community, has brought together housing experts, community leaders, industry partners, and government representatives from across Canada to address housing challenges and advance community solutions for First Nations across the country.

Over three days of workshops, hands-on trainings, and knowledge-sharing, First Nations Housing Conference provides practical tools, insights, and connections that help strengthen housing capacity and support better housing outcomes in First Nations communities.

Learn. Inspire. Grow.

Stronger Alliances, Stronger Homes

The 23rd First Nations Housing Conference, FNHC 2026, was held February 24–26, 2026, at the Valhalla Hotel & Conference Centre in Thunder Bay, Ontario. This year’s theme, Stronger Alliances, Stronger Homes, highlighted the power of collaboration — bringing together First Nations housing experts, industry partners, and government to share knowledge, strengthen partnerships, and advance housing solutions.

The conversation continues as we look ahead to First Nations Housing Conference 2027.

Agenda 2026

The First Nations Housing Conference 2026 brought together housing leaders, technical experts, administrators, youth, and community representatives from across the country for three days of learning, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.

The program featured three dedicated streams, ensuring that every role involved in First Nations housing had access to relevant training, insights, and practical solutions:

  • Technical – Hands-on workshops, building code updates, and impactful solutions
  • Administrative – Policy development, funding strategies & applications, and housing management
  • Leadership – Strategic planning, community-driven success stories, and long-term housing vision
Together, these sessions reflected the 2026 theme “Stronger Alliances, Stronger Homes.
