History of AHSPG
Phase 2b Childcare and Phase 2a funding approved and Phase 3 funding secured for the Urban Aboriginal Community.
Phase 2b Childcare and Phase 3 to commence construction in the summer of 2021.
Funding for Phase 1 of the Urban Aboriginal Community was secured and construction commenced. Phase 2b Childcare planning and funding application filed.
Phase 2a and Phase 3 move to detailed planning.
A master plan was developed for an Urban Aboriginal Community site.
A funding application was prepared and submitted for Phase 1 of the Urban Aboriginal Community to construct 50 townhouse units.
The Society continues to grow with a new apartment building at 1811 Spruce Street. These 27 unit, one-bedroom apartments are specifically for independent Elders. Construction of this building was completed in 2018.
On October 2, 2017, the AHSPG relocated its offices to 1919 17th Avenue, Prince George. This location is more accessible for current and future tenants. Our offices will continue to serve our tenants, new applicants, and residents while ensuring there are more services and opportunities available at this location.
Our long-term vision for this site is to develop an Urban Aboriginal Community, to read more click here.
On November 30, 2015, the Prince George Metis Housing Society changed its name to the Aboriginal Housing Society of Prince George (AHSPG). The new name reflects an inclusive approach to all services delivered to Aboriginal peoples in the Prince George region, in both membership and housing.
In 2014, the Prince George Metis Housing Society inherited 106 rural and native housing units throughout north central and east British Columbia.
In 2010, there was a board and administration change within the Prince George Metis Housing Society and a new vision for the Society was established.
During this time, subsidies for subsidized housing had declined so it was important for the Society to shift its focus so that they could be sustainable.
Prince George Metis Housing started in a one-bedroom apartment building on Spruce Street with 19 homes.
As the Society grew with the need for housing in the area, the Society purchased 167 housing units in the Prince George region.
