Matawa Non-Profit Housing Corporation

Matawa Non-Profit Housing Corporation provides social housing in the city of Thunder Bay. It holds 50 rental units scattered throughout the city (click on the link for the latest news story). The units are available to eligible families with low or modest incomes. Depending on how the units are funded, some are available to Indigenous Peoples in Thunder Bay in the following categories: First Nations (Status and Non-Status), Métis, or Inuit. The Corporation’s Property Manager is responsible for tenant liaison and the maintenance of the physical property. Matawa Finance & Administration manages the financial and regulatory affairs of the Corporation.

For information about, or to apply for social housing, not only with Matawa, but also a number of other housing providers in Thunder Bay, you must contact/apply to the Thunder Bay District Social Services Administration Board (TBDSSAB) as they provide the funding subsidies for our rent-geared-to-income housing units.

Please note that Matawa cannot directly accept and process your application and you are encouraged to call the Central Housing Registry (766-2111) prior to submitting your application to ensure it is complete. The Central Housing Registry places eligible applicants on a wait-list that is used by Matawa and other social housing providers as units become vacant.

To apply or for more information about our units and/or social housing in Thunder Bay generally, please visit the TBDSSAB Website which contains many useful links.
