In 2016 , a successful multi-partnership model was created, revolutionizing housing for the people of Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) – the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation and Saugeen First Nation.
As of 2024, 35 houses have been built on their traditional territory, engaging more than 2,000 volunteers along with providing skills training and employment opportunities for First Nation members.
To provide safe, energy efficient and affordable homes.
To instill pride of homeownership.
To build a bridge between the First Nations and the wider community. Reconciliation in action.
With 19 houses having been completed on the traditional territory of Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation, we are building another home in 2024 for member families.

In September 2022, Habitat Grey Bruce and the Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board entered into a new partnership agreement to construct a Tiny Home for the community of Saugeen First Nation.
This pilot program gives students and faculty of St. Mary’s high school in Owen Sound, the opportunity to take an active step of reconciliation with Saugeen First Nation.
We are thrilled to be partnering with Habitat Halton-Mississauga-Dufferin on this new innovative pilot housing solution for First Nations. This initiative involves over 200 high school students in skilled trades classes building 5 Tiny Homes for the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation.
