Brantford Native Housing offers a housing search support for Indigenous populations every Tuesday from 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. in the 3rd floor computer lab.

Instead of reading the same book, each participant brings whatever they’re currently reading—whether it’s a fantasy, mystery, or graphic novel! We’ll chat about our books, swap recommendations, and take part in fun activities and snacks inspired by our favourite reads. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to log your summer reading progress during the program and earn extra rewards!

Drop into the 3rd-floor computer lab on Tuesday afternoons for support completing all types of application forms.
