The Income Assistance team is tasked with the efficient administration of the Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) Income Assistance program.

The team assists Members living on-reserve to:
- Maintain a basic standard of living.
- Prevent dependency by developing individual and family strengths.
- Assist recipients to access services that will enhance their ability to assume primary responsibility for their own affairs.
