Grant Summary: Housing Internship for Indigenous Youth (HIIY) Program
Exploring the Housing Internship for Indigenous Youth (HIIY) Program
The Housing Internship for Indigenous Youth (HIIY) program by CMHC offers financial assistance to organizations in the housing sector to hire Indigenous youth for internship positions. This initiative not only supports the professional development of Indigenous youth but also benefits organizations by providing additional resources and diverse perspectives.

By supporting this program, organizations can make a positive impact on the community while nurturing talent and promoting diversity in the workforce.
