About These Resources

Many resources available through SKFNHousingHub come from publicly available sources and have been summarized for easier use. External information, programs and requirements may change over time. First Nations should review current information and confirm that examples, tools and guidance fit their own laws, governance structures and community needs before relying on them. Feedback and suggestions for additional resources are welcome as the Housing Hub continues to grow.
