Indigenous Modular Housing

Indigenous Housing and Modular Construction

At Jandel Homes, we work collaboratively with First Nations, Inuit and Métis leaders and communities across Western Canada. Together, we create housing that is modern, healthy and built to last.

We understand that trust and respect are earned. Over our 50 year history, we have created many long-lasting relationships with our Indigenous business partners. Together, we have been building safe and secure housing since 1974.

In the past, some programs and organizations used the term “Aboriginal housing.” Today, most governments and Indigenous groups in Alberta and BC use the term “Indigenous housing.” It is considered the preferred and more respectful language. You may still see “Aboriginal” in the names of some long-standing organizations. However, “Indigenous” is now widely used to reflect inclusivity and modern best practices.

Working With Your Council In Flexible New Ways

At Jandel Homes, we’ve proudly partnered with First Nations communities on past housing projects, helping provide homes that truly fit each community’s needs. We believe in being flexible, whether that means working with your Housing Manager, Chief or Council, or directly with families.

Our goal is simple: to help you and your family make your new home your own. We’re here to support you, whether it’s figuring out how many homes are needed, guiding you through the buying process or helping choose options and finishes.

Relationship with The Land

Jandel understands the unique challenges and sensitivities required when operating on-reserve, in indigenous communities, traditional territories and often in remote locations.

Indigenous communities face the same need for safe, affordable housing. But it’s also important that homes respect the connection to the land and include thoughtful living spaces. Modular construction offers a less disruptive option than traditional builds and can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 43%.

Green Building Practices. Energy Efficient Homes.

Our construction process is resource efficient, minimizing waste and energy consumption during the build, which reduces our carbon footprint.

Our homes are low maintenance and energy efficient, which reduces upkeep requirements, replacement and energy costs, while protecting the environment.

Increased Financial Accessibility with many options for First Nations Housing Funding

Many First Nations housing grants and Indigenous housing programs are available to support communities. These include financial planning tools and affordable financing options for First Nations, Métis and other Indigenous Peoples. This includes:

Our Trades or Yours

We’re proud to offer affordable, turn-key housing and commercial building solutions for Indigenous communities, including First Nations, Métis, and Aboriginal Peoples. Whether it’s a small project or a large development, Jandel’s full-service Construction Team is ready to help.

We’re also committed to supporting employment opportunities within Indigenous communities. That’s why we aim to use local tradespeople and businesses from our First Nations partners whenever we can. Alternatively, we can also simply supply the house and your tradespeople can do the rest.
