      Financial Hardship Assistance

      Financial Hardship Assistance Grant

      ʔAkisq̓nuk First Nation recognizes some Members may experience circumstances that affect their ability to pay for their non-discretionary household expenses and basic needs from time to time. This policy outlines the assistance available to those members experiencing genuine financial hardship.

      Financial hardship is a circumstance of experiencing a lack of financial means, which may be either temporary or ongoing. In short, if a member of the ʔAkisq̓nuk First Nation has the intention but not the financial capacity to pay their basic household expenses such as food or basic utilities, they are deemed to be experiencing financial hardship. Chief and Council are committed to providing additional support to assist members in this situation.
