The Emergency Member Support Services team is a resource for Members seeking emergency financial support. Emergency Service Officers complete an intake to determine emergency funding support. During this process they collect and review information to ensure all options are available to Nation Members. The team works with other departments, organizations, and agencies to ensure Members are able to access available services and resources.
In the event of an emergency, staff may issue the following emergency assistance to prevent undue hardship: food voucher, shelter (rent), utilities, and hospital supports. Shelter is paid directly to the landlord and utilities are paid to the service provider.
