AVENS has 32 independent housing units on campus.
The 32 housing units are made up of:
24 x 1-bedroom units (AVEN Court)
8 x 2-bedroom units (AVEN Ridge)
AVEN Court units are subsidized due to a funding partnership with NWT Housing Corporation as long as your income is within the Core Net Income Threshold (CNIT) which is currently set at $60,400 by the government.
AVEN Ridge units are all market units, meaning they are not subsidized by any funding program, and rent is determined by AVENS.
Due to the limited number of units, applicants can be on the waitlist for a couple years before a unit comes available – with no guarantees of one coming available.
However, we still encourage everyone to apply in case a unit does come available. Each received application is reviewed by AVENS housing committee and scored using our audited scoring criteria that takes into consideration a lot of different factors including the applicants current needs assessment
