The Housing department is responsible for the planning, development, and ongoing management of residential housing for Skwlāx te Secwepemcúl̓ecw members. Our team oversees rental housing units, renovation and construction projects, maintenance, and tenant services on reserve. We are here to make sure members have access to safe, well-maintained homes.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since 1966, when designers at Letraset and James Mosley, the librarian at St Bride Printing Library in London, took a 1914 Cicero translation and scrambled it to make dummy text for Letraset’s Body Type sheets. It has survived not only many decades, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

Skwlāx te Secwepemcúl̓ecw currently manages 88 rental units across several housing categories. Additional units are currently being built to meet the growing needs of the community. The department administers the following housing types:
Rental units owned and managed directly by the Nation. Contact the Housing department for availability and application information.
Units funded through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and managed by the Nation. Contact the Housing department for availability and application information.
Housing designated for Elders in the community. Contact the Housing department to learn more about eligibility and availability.
The department also provides support and oversight for individually owned homes on reserve, including maintenance coordination and policy compliance.
Renting a Nation-managed home is a shared responsibility. Before submitting an application, prospective tenants should understand what is expected of them as members of a housing community.
Tenants are expected to pay rent on time every month. Rent is due on the first of each month. Late or missed payments affect your standing as a tenant and the department’s ability to maintain and invest in housing for the community.
Tenants are responsible for keeping their unit clean and in good condition. This includes reporting maintenance issues promptly rather than letting them go unaddressed. Damage beyond normal wear and tear is the responsibility of the tenant.
Tenants are expected to be respectful neighbours. This means keeping noise at a reasonable level, maintaining the area around your unit, and following the Nation’s housing policies.
Pets are permitted with prior approval and a signed Pet Tenancy Agreement. A pet deposit equivalent to half a month’s rent is required.
If you have questions about whether you are eligible to apply or what the process involves, contact the Housing department before submitting your application.
The following forms are available for tenants and applicants. Contact the Housing department if you need assistance completing any of these.
