In 2002, the province designated WBH as the provincial housing management body for the region to manage seniors self-contained housing units. These units are subsidized by the government, which means tenants pay up to 30% of their total income toward rent and the province provides an annual grant to manage the operations of these properties.

The seniors self-contained properties are located in the downtown area, Anzac and Fort Chipewyan as follows:

• Legion Manor – located downtown, this property has 12 one-bedroom apartments.
• Araubasca House – located downtown, this property has 18 one-bedroom apartments.
• Woodsmoke Elders – located in Anzac, there are four one-bedroom mobile homes.
• Ayabaskaw Home – located in Fort Chipewyan, this property features 10 one-bedroom apartments.
