How did we get here?
AHMA was created in 1996 when the Federal government announced it would stop building new urban Native housing units and devolve social housing to the provinces.
AHMA’s 30 Year Impact
AHMA’s work encompasses more than housing. We work to provide a holistic set of services to Indigenous people because we know that wraparound support is necessary for healing and growth.

Bob Joseph, co-founder and president of Indigenous Corporate
Training Inc. (ICT), has provided training on Indigenous relations since 1994.
ICT has a diverse range of clients, including all levels of government, Fortune
500 companies, resource development companies, and small and

Things™ You May Not Know About the Indian Act and its recent sequel, 21
Things™ You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government: A
Conversation About Dismantling the Indian Act. Bob is an Indigenous
person, or more specifically a Status Indian. He is an initiated member of the
Hamatsa Society and has inherited a chief’s seat in the Gayaxala
(Thunderbird) clan, the first clan of the Gwawa’enuxw one of the 18 tribes that make up the Kwakwaka’wakw. Bob is anticipating holding his inaugural
potlatch to confirm his Chieftainship in the near future. His chief name is
K’axwsumala’galis, which, loosely translated, means “whale who emerges
itself from the water and presents itself to the world.”
