First Nations Social Assistance Programs

Financial assistance programs administered by Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) that help First Nations individuals and families living on reserves meet their basic need for food, clothing and shelter. ISC also funds special needs allowances for goods and services (such as basic furniture or costs associated with following a physician-recommended diet) which are essential to the physical or social well-being of an eligible recipient but are not included in the list of items covered by the basic need grant. ISC provides funding to First Nations who deliver the programs and services to their people.
