Conference 2027





This networking event is designed to support First Nations through learning opportunities, resource sharing, and meaningful discussions around housing and energy code initiatives.

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.
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 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.
