Wiiji’iwewin is an Anishnaabemowin (Ojibwe language) word that loosely translates in English to “the help” and “assistance” to another individual.

If you are Indigenous and paying more then 35% of your income to rent you may be eligible to receive assistance through the Wiiji’iwewin Housing Allowance Program.

Established in February 2022, the Wiiji’iwewin Housing Allowance program is a key initiative under Giwetashkad's commitment to providing Indigenous people with secure and affordable housing.
