What is KW Urban Native Wigwam Project?

The  KWUNWP is a non-profit organization that has served the Native  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 Native people of this community a chance to grow and prosper, while  maintaining a dignified and safe living environment for their families. 

KWUNWP gives their tenants the opportunity to care for  a home at an affordable rate, which in turn can create an opportunity to  eventually purchase their own home.   

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 Aboriginal community, inviting tenants and  friends to local events, fundraisers, Feasts, educational seminars, etc.
