Community Infrastructure
& Safety Services (CISS)

The mission of this department is to provide a safe and livable community through the management, maintenance and protection of key infrastructure and facilities, and through the delivery of key services. Our Department’s responsibility for cultural revitalization is: To support cultural and community events, and ensure that cultural facilities, spaces, and infrastructure are maintained, in operation and safe. The CISS is located in the Admin/Band Office.

Housing

​Housing is the foundation for strong and healthy communities. The Housing Department, utilizing orderly, ethical and transparent management practices, diligently works toward providing a functional housing delivery system to ensure units are maintained in an acceptable manner to extend their life expectancy while providing safe, affordable, adequate housing for Nation members. 

The FNFN Housing Department:​
  • Manages new, rental, elder, and individually owned member housing
  • Assists with preparation of various forms of assistance that are available to support the development of on-reserve housing
  • Acquires funding and financing for projects
  • Budgets for project sustainability
  • ​Oversees day-to-day administration of housing portfolios (applications, allotment, rent/mortgage collection, service requests, maintenance inspections, etc)
  • Fulfills monthly, quarterly, and yearly reporting requirements
  • ​Acquires and maintains the FNFN insurance portfolio on all Nation owned assets
  • Develops, implements, and enforces policy
  • Procures outside service suppliers to provide for the housing needs of the community
​​Housing management is often about managing expectations. If either party has unrealistic expectations of the other there will be unnecessary tension. Therefore, lines of communication between the occupants and the FNFN Housing Department must be kept open.
