Housing
The Housing Department is responsible for accessing funding for new houses and as well funding for repairs and renovations; managing home construction; and meeting reporting requirements for INAC and CMHC.
From 2005 -2011 Kitselas Band has built 63 homes. Because of this, we have been able to bring approximately 252 band members home. We are working very hard to ensure that we address any problems as quickly as possible (i.e. funding, construction, repairs, arrears etc.). Currently, we have houses on Kulspai Cres., Gitaus, Endadoon, and Chimdimash and we are looking forward to building more new homes for our Kitselas people.
