As homes at Sen̓áḵw prepare to open this summer, Squamish People have three pathways to live in the village. The three pathways are: Hiy̓ám̓ Housing, Affordable Homes and Market Homes.
The Hiy̓ám̓ Housing application process recently closed. However, applications for the Affordable Homes pathway, remain open. Squamish People are encouraged to apply. More than 200 Affordable Homes units are available to Squamish People, with rents in the mid-to-low range. Priority for these units is given first to Squamish applicants, followed by other Indigenous applicants, and then non-Indigenous applicants.
If your application for Hiy̓ám̓ Housing was not successful, you still have an opportunity to apply through the Affordable Homes pathway to live at Sen̓áḵw. For Affordable home applicants, note that your annual household, the total amount of money earned by all members of a household in a year, must fall within the ranges identified in the table at the start of the Living at Sen̓áḵw Guide
How the Affordable Home Application Process Works
- If you’ve had a chance to tour our ancestral village and submitted an Expression of Interest Form, a rental advisor from Rennie Marketing will follow up and provide a full application.
- If you pre-registered on the Sen̓áḵw website, you will be receiving an email from Rennie asking you to fill out the Expression of Interest Form.
- If you haven’t had a chance to tour Sen̓áḵw, or pre-register, but are interested in applying for Affordable Homes at Sen̓áḵw, please complete an Expression of Interest Form.
We encourage Members to ensure they have completed the Expression of Interest Form so they can begin the application process. Once that form is complete, you will be contacted by Rennie with an application to live at Sen̓áḵw.
You will have five days to submit a completed application. If you do not reply within five days, the process moves to another person who has submitted an Expression of Interest Form.
Completed applications will be reviewed by Rennie in the order they are received.
Here’s the steps
- Complete the Expression of Interest Form.
- Fill in the Application provided by Rennie.
- Submit the application within five days of receiving it.
