The Atikameksheng Anishnawbek Rental Housing Program provides band members with rental accommodations that meet health, safety, and minimum property standards. The program works in compliance within the National Housing Code, Atikameksheng Anishnawbek’s regulations, policies and procedures, and pertinent federal and provincial legislation, regulations and guidelines. Band members who are interested in applying for housing must submit a letter of interest to the Housing Department every year, after January 1st, in order to be considered when a unit becomes available.
