The Tla’amin Nation Housing Department is committed to creating safe, healthy, and sustainable homes for current and future generations. Guided by a long-term 20-year housing plan, the department works closely with community members to assess evolving housing needs, maintain both rental and privately owned homes, and support the development of new social housing.
Services We Offer
Services include housing applications, tenancy support, infrastructure improvements, land and home transfer guidance, and access to emergency or transitional housing. The department also provides education on home ownership, maintenance, wills, and estate matters.
Through the Tla’amin First Nation Housing Program, we help citizens pursue home ownership, secure funding and grants for social and private housing, maintain existing homes, and build new units that meet the community’s growing needs.
Tla’amin citizens can apply for a social housing unit by completing the Housing Application Form and submitting it to housing@tn-bc.ca or dropping it off at the Tla’amin Government House at 4779 Klahanie Road. If you have questions or need help with the form, please call (604) 483-9646. Ext #145.

Tla’amin citizens can learn about their place on the waitlist by emailing housing@tn-bc.ca or by calling (604) 483-9646. Ext #104. The waitlist is organized by date of application and size and type of unit needed.
Rent can be paid on a bi-weekly or monthly basis, and the total rent is due on the last day of each month. Tla’amin Nation tenants can pay rent in two ways:
- Through e-transfer to payment@tn-bc.ca; or
- By debit or cash at the front desk of the Tla’amin Government House at 4779 Klahanie Road.
Tla’amin tenants seeking home ownership may submit a written letter to the Housing Department indicating the request. We encourage tenants seeking home ownership to also attach relevant documents such as receipts, letters etc. Please send your request to housing@tn-bc.ca or drop it off at Tla’amin Government House at 4779 Klahanie Road.
The steps for homeownership are as follows:
- Submitting a letter requesting home ownership with any supporting documents.
- A finance statement is attained from Finance Department showing payments and presence of any outstanding arrears.
- A due diligence form is filled out by Housing Manager with recommendations and provided to Executive Council.
- Tla’amin Nation sends a letter with the decision and rationale.
- Citizens may dispute decisions through the Administrative Appeals Committee.
We thank citizens in advance for their patience with this process which requires thorough review and due diligence.
