Security

Manitoba Housing Security consists of two distinct areas:

The Housing Communications Centre (HCC) 204-945-4663 or 1-800-661-4663

The Housing Communictions Centre operates 24 hours a day, 7days a week, 365 days a year. The Housing Communictions Centre serves as the primary contact on maintenance and security issues for Manitoba Housing properties throughout the Province. In addition, the Housing Communictions Centre monitors alarm and security camera systems.

The Housing Communictions Centre monitors are responsible for taking calls from tenants, contractors, and staff; dispatching security or police services, as well as processing maintenance requests and contacting appropriate persons to complete the work after hours.

Manitoba Housing Security:

Manitoba Housing Security is responsible for contract security throughout the Province, as well as a 27 member mobile security service which provides call responses within Winnipeg and Brandon.

Investigators work with Property Managers, Tenant Services Coordinators, police services, and the Public Safety Investigations unit of Manitoba Justice. Within the City of Winnipeg they respond to major incidents which involve serious criminal acts or the relocation of Manitoba Housing tenants.

Technical Support Technicians perform installations of equipment and maintain over 50 security camera systems, as well as office alarm systems and card access systems on Manitoba Housing properties and leased spaces.
