Established in 1988, through a Community Development Program, a group of volunteers recognized an urgent need to assist the Aboriginal Community in need of affordable housing. Can-Am Urban Native Homes has 81 Single family homes, the Nash Kanonhsa Home and the Biimskiinodin Transitional House.

In 1996, Can-Am Urban Native Homes with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation along with other community partners spearheaded a project that restored a Queen Anne 1894 home rich in Windsor’s history to a three storey walkup providing three 2 bedroom units.

Most recently, in 2005, with funding from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada there is the addition of two transitional housing units with the Biimskiinodin Project.
