The new program page says applications are accepted year-round, applications are evaluated quarterly, and applicants must submit the package by email or mail using the Indigenous Housing Capital Program guide, the construction funding application, and Appendix A project plan. It also adds reporting obligations for successful applicants and lists current supporting documents, approved projects, and related resources.
