Herauf Modular · Indigenous Housing & Community Buildings
A partner of choice for Indigenous Nations.
Quality homes, delivered where roads only exist in winter.
Land acknowledgment
Herauf Enterprises works on and supports lands that are the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of many Indigenous Peoples. We partner with First Nations and Métis communities to deliver quality housing, built with respect and delivered with dignity.
More than housing.
We are committed to continue learning, which deepens our understanding of colonial history. We are engaged to continue the work of decolonization in all our interactions.
Every Indigenous housing project we undertake is more than housing. It’s about homes built to last, in a way that respects and integrates the cultural and environmental heritage of Indigenous communities.
We partner with First Nations and Métis communities to deliver modular homes that are built to the highest quality and durability standards, in partnership with CMHC and government agencies where applicable.
The buildings a community can order and what a funding application needs from the builder each have their own page.

Partnership and delivery.
How does Herauf work with Indigenous communities?
Herauf partners directly with First Nations and Métis communities, and with CMHC and government agencies where applicable, to deliver modular homes built to high quality and durability standards. Our approach is partnership-led and grounded in ongoing learning about colonial history and decolonization.
Can Herauf deliver housing to remote First Nations communities?
Yes. Because homes are built complete in controlled facilities, Herauf can serve remote and fly-in communities, including St. Theresa Point First Nation in northern Manitoba, where homes were delivered roughly 1,300 km north across a seasonal winter ice road.
How fast can homes be installed in a community?
Modules are built in advance while site work proceeds in parallel, so on-site installation is rapid. At the Buffalo Lake Métis Settlement, 20 homes turned an empty plot into a lived-in community within days.
Does Herauf have references from Indigenous partners?
Yes. Signed reference letters from Zagime Anishinabek and St. Theresa Point are on the references page.
