About the North Peace Housing Foundation

The North Peace Housing Foundation (NPHF), created in 1996 by a Ministerial Order, is a corporation operating as a not-for-profit organization, and is a "requisitioning body" as defined in Section 326 of the Municipal Government Act.

In the case of the NPHF, the tax rate for the requisition is set yearly by the Board of Directors of the Foundation, which is a governing body made up of 12 members each appointed by the respective Council of a participating municipality. The tax rate is the same throughout the region.

And, again very much like School Boards, the municipalities collect the requisitions on the Foundation's behalf and forward the appropriate amount to the NPHF. Most municipal tax notices separate out the School and Housing requisitions from their own taxes.

​Clear Hills County
     Town of Grimshaw
County of Northern Lights ​
​Town of Manning
Northern Sunrise County
Town of Peace River

The North Peace Housing Foundation operates four Senior Citizens' Lodges and, by Agreement with the Province of Alberta, manages eleven Seniors' Self-Contained Apartment projects, a sixty-three unit Affordable Housing project, plus the region’s Community Housing, Sustainable Remote Housing (SRHI), Private Landlord Rent Supplement and Rent Assistance Benefit.

For Lodges:
The requisition amount you pay is used to help fund and maintain the operation, administration, and adequate supply, of Senior’s Lodges and the accompanying services within the Foundation area of responsibility (e.g., housekeeping, meals, recreation, programming, safety, and security and maintenance).

The Foundation receives its operational Lodge funding from three major sources; Municipal requisitions (taxes) as discussed above (approx. 36%), Resident rents (approx. 47%), and the Provincial Lodge Assistance Program Grant (approx. 12%) with the remainder derived from other sources such as service fees etc.

Social Housing Units:
Funding for the Seniors’ Self-Contained Apartments and the Community Housing and Rural Housing programs is cost shared by the Federal and Provincial Governments. Rental rates received are calculated based upon an approved formula, currently set at 30% of the tenant’s confirmed gross annual household income.

The process for preparing the annual operating budget submission is similar to the one for Lodge Operations. The Foundation’s Board develops an operating and capital budget request that is subsequently submitted to Alberta Seniors & Housing for review, consideration, adjustment, and approval.
​
Ultimately, funding decisions for social housing programs rest with the provincial government, and management bodies must operate with the resources they receive.

Last year, the province made the decision to turn over ownership of specific Family Housing properties to Management bodies throughout Alberta. These properties are to be sold, at assessed value, and the proceeds to be used for affordable housing within the appropriate regions.

A Senior Self Contained Apartment is an apartment complex providing social housing to independent seniors of Alberta. North Peace Housing Foundation provides property management services, including maintenance and janitorial services to its self-contained complexes.

The Community Housing Program is designed to provide affordable rental accommodation to low and moderate-income families, senior citizens, the physically challenged and others who are unable to obtain adequate and affordable housing in the region’s private sector market. Housing units under the program may be federally, provincially, or municipally owned.

The Rural Housing Program is designed to assist low-income eligible households in obtaining affordable rental accommodation in rural communities, generally, with populations of 2,500 persons or less.

The Affordable Housing Program is designed to assist households in core housing needs with a minimum rent reduction of 10% below market rates. The province assists the approved proponents with a capital development grant upon receiving a 20-year commitment to meet program stipulations with regards to affordable rental rates.
​

The Rent Assistance Benefit (RAB) is aimed at communities that need affordable housing for low- and modest-income households and individuals, and that have private sector accommodation available. The management body screens and reviews applications and presents them for consideration by the province. If approved, the applicant may receive assistance which covers the difference between the negotiated market rents and the tenants’ rent which is determined by their ability to pay up to a predetermined maximum.
