Housing and Services

We are investing in building new and improved housing for you to call home and enhancing services to support our members near and far.

Shxwhá:y Village manages 34 homes on the reserve. In colder months we help to keep up our homes maintained by providing services including chimney sweeping, pressure washing, inspections, and renovations and repairs. We also provide clean-up services throughout the Spring and Summer.

We also work to provide other services and support for Shxwhá:y Village members including weekly meals, relief payments and other financial supports.

If you are struggling and need support please contact the Chief, Council Members or Band Administration and we work to help.
