No. 3 and I.R. No. 6. The Nak'azdli First Nation services 17 reserves; with the last reserve being added on March 11, 2010.
Nak'azdli is a member of the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council (CSTC) along with six other First Nation Bands. Nak'azdli First Nation is made up of approximately 1700 on and off reserve members.
The Nak’azdli Housing Department is striving to maintain financially sustainable housing for it’s membership by utilizing the different options of housing available through Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and through the different housing options (Section 10, Section 95, Subsidy, Band Owned Rental and Social Housing).

Nak’azdli Band Housing Department works with CMHC, Financial Institutions, District of Fort St. James, Insurance Companies, Contractors and Construction Business, Inspectors and Health Board as well as with other Band Staff, tenants and membership.

The Housing Department is always looking for alternative resources for renovation dollars for the Band and the Membership to access throughout the year.

The Nak’azdli Band Housing Policy is currently in the process of being revised by Chief and Council and a workshop will be offered in the New Year for the membership to review.

The Housing Department will be looking at having more housing workshops become a regular activity throughout the year.
