Mission

To provide culturally safe and affordable housing for the Indigenous (FNMI) community in Waterloo Region.

Vision

To enhance the quality of life for the Indigenous community by providing  affordable housing to live in.
The  KWUNWP is a non-profit organization that has served the First Nations, Metis and Inuit (Status or Non-Status) population of the Waterloo Region since 1987. It provides safe, secure, and  affordable rent geared-to-income housing for Native people and their families that are in a low or moderate income situation. 

KWUNWP  will provide tenant support where possible to assist in decreasing hardships and leading to self-sufficiency of individuals and families. This will give First Nations, Metis and Inuit people of this community a chance to grow and prosper, while  maintaining a dignified and culturally safe living environment for their families. 

KWUNWP is a stepping stone that gives tenants the opportunity to care for a home at an affordable rate, which in turn can create an opportunity to  potentially purchase their own home. It also provides temporary relief in between sources of income that prevent you from paying Market Rent or becoming homeless. 
​

Tenant Involvement

KWUNWP is an organization where tenants are valued and  encouraged to become involved with their community. Tenants and volunteers are the backbone of this community and are appreciated for all they do. 

KWUNWP also has quarterly  newsletters for tenants and the Indigenous community, inviting tenants and  friends to local events, fundraisers, Community Feasts, educational seminars & workshops, etc.
