Tallcree’s Social Development Department is here to support the well-being of our members by offering community-based programs that strengthen families and help individuals reach their personal and career goals.
We work closely with the appropriate regional partners to provide training and guidance for staff who support the delivery of Income Assistance services within the Nation.
If you are currently unemployed or underemployed and live on reserve, you may be eligible for Income Assistance to help with basic needs and shelter costs. Our team is here to guide you through the process and ensure you have access to the support you need. If you have any questions or need help getting started, we’re here to assist.
Income Assistance
Tallcree administers on-reserve Income Assistance under federal guidelines, providing support for essential living expenses such as food, clothing, rent, and utilities. The program also offers pre-employment supports, including life skills training and job search assistance. Application packages are available through the Social Development office. Once your application has been submitted, our team will review it and contact you regarding the next steps.
