projects that yield high-quality, safe, sustainable, and affordable homes across the province. “The creation and growth of the Asset Strategies department over the years has been deeply rooted in cultural practices of listening to and learning from our communities and Indigenous housing providers,” says David Silva, Director of Asset Strategies. “We aren’t here to simply replicate conventional industry approaches to delivering projects. Our team is passionate about weaving together the needs of Indigenous housing societies, local Indigenous culture, and industry best practices.” Among the Asset Strategies team is Atoine Archie, AHMA’s Manager of Capital Projects. He joined AHMA in 2021, beginning as a building condition assessor before moving into project management and later into his current leadership role. Atoine’s perspective is grounded not only in technical expertise, but also in lived experience. Alongside his peers, he is involved daily in projects that provide cradle-to-completion oversight—ranging from initial assessments to multi-million-dollar capital renewals. In his early days, the Asset Strategies department was small – just about five people – supporting housing societies scattered across the province. As funding streams grew and the need for more robust asset management intensified, the team reorganised, expanded, and honed its processes. Atoine quickly became involved in projects that offered cradle-to-completion oversight – from initial assessments to multi-million-dollar DECEMBER 2025
