Manitoba Housing and Community Development

A Complementary and Integrated Approach

Manitoba Housing and Community Development is a department with a broad mandate that includes a range of housing and community development programs and activities.

Our role is to promote community development and create opportunities for people to engage in activities that promote well-being and social inclusion where they live. Housing is integral to this process and we strive to safeguard an adequate supply of safe and affordable housing in communities across Manitoba, particularly for those of low and moderate income or those with specialized needs. It is also our role to sustain and improve the condition of existing social housing and stimulate and influence the activities of the housing market to the benefit of Manitobans as a whole.
