Rural and Native Housing Program
The Rural and Native Housing Program (RNH)provides housing for
lower income families in rural Manitoba. 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.
The RNH portfolio consists of 1,874 single family renter and homeowner
units in rural Manitoba.
To facilitate management of the housing stock, Property Management
Agreements have been established between the Manitoba
Housing and Renewal Corporation 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.
