The Plan renewed in 2025 aligns with the Regional Housing and Infrastructure Strategy.<\/p>\n Housing activities returned to their normal course in the years following the pandemic. It is more accurate to speak of a “new normal,” considering the explosion in construction costs and the labor and supply issues that First Nations must contend with more than ever. The Action Plan is therefore renewed with the goal of ensuring that the Committee’s actions contribute to improving the resilience of First Nations communities in Quebec to minimize the impacts of major events. The continued implementation of the Regional Housing and Infrastructure Strategy also aims to strengthen local skills and capacities to pave the way for closing the housing gap. The Plan, covering the years 2025 to 2027, follows this path. Furthermore, the Action Plan pays special attention to the recommendations of the 2024 Report of the Auditor General of Canada on Housing in First Nations Communities. Various actions refer to the 8 recommendations in the report and are marked as AG 2…<\/p>\n |

investment must be substantially increased to achieve more positive results in housing and infrastructure. A better response to the needs of First Nations and the elimination of gaps necessarily require a catch-up initiative based on additional investment.<\/p>\nWe must also do more with government contributions and other sources of funding. One way to achieve this is through the universal implementation of practices that have been successful to date.<\/p>\nIncreasing government contributions, optimizing leverage with modern financing tools, and implementation focused on best practices are concrete ways to envision a catch-up initiative to better meet needs both inside and outside the communities. Optimizing local economic development opportunities is also an avenue to explore to support communities in their financial autonomy and job creation.<\/p>\nPhase 1 (financial and economic analysis) has been completed. The second phase, which consists of the deployment of a Center of Expertise in Financial Literacy and Housing (CEFLH), is currently underway.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\nDesired Outcomes (medium\/long term)<\/strong><\/p>\nElimination of the backlog, both on and off-community.<\/p>\nImplementation of best practices.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nACTIONS 2023-2025<\/th>\nPERIOD<\/th>\n%<\/th>\nRESULTS \/ ACHIEVEMENTS<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n\n2025-2026<\/th>\n2026-2027<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n\nQ1<\/th>\nQ2<\/th>\nQ3<\/th>\nQ4<\/th>\nQ5<\/th>\nQ6<\/th>\nQ7<\/th>\nQ8<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n\n\nPhase 1 \u2013 Financial and economic analysis<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n100 %<\/td>\nCompleted (2020)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nPhase 2 \u2013 Dissemination of findings and recommendations from the first phase of financial and economic analysis (modern financing tools, partnerships, catch-up initiative (on and off community) and economic benefits)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n100 %<\/td>\nCompleted (2022)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nPhase 2 (continued) \u2013 Implementation of the Center of Expertise in Financial Literacy and Housing (CEFLH), Manikaso Center<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n25 %<\/td>\nThe Manikaso Center is operational again after a pause of several months.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n\n\nPilot project with several communities (financial diagnostics with coaching; target audience: leaders).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n\n\nLiteracy workshops offered to all communities (target audience: population and organizations).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\nOngoing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n\n\nMonitoring of mandate, progress report, and evaluation of the pilot project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nInformation dissemination<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n25 %<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n\n](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-19-at-10.44.39-PM.webp\"){kind=link}
