Housing

OKIB Housing supports community members by providing a variety of housing options, rental services, and resources to meet community needs. Housing options include rental options, single and multi-family housing, support for home renovations and new home builds. Applications and resources are available to help guide members through eligibility requirements and the application process.

OKIB also manages rental applications through a waitlist process and offers Facility rental spaces to support community events.

Community members can access housing applications, waitlist information, and facility rental forms through the available resources.

Rental Process

There is a waitlist for rental units. Each application gets rated with the same criteria and that rating determines their position on the waitlist. The waitlist is updated regularly, and each person has a unique code. You can check the list anytime to see your current position and get a sense of where you are in the process of securing a rental. The Social Housing Rental Waitlist has been updated with those who have submitted their updated New Social Housing Applications. Priority for Applicants who have the same rank will be determined by the credibility of their references. If you do not see your waitlist code, this means that you have not submitted your updated application.

Events & Facility Rentals

OKIB offers event and facility rental spaces to support community gatherings, meetings, celebrations, and special occasions. Community Members can submit booking requests for events and facility rentals using the following forms.
