Designing Culturally Appropriate Income Assistance Programs for First Nations

Due to high demand and discussions of income assistance reform, ONWAA will be hosting one final Income Assistance Design workshop for income assistance staff to gather, discuss, and design components of a culturally appropriate income assistance program. This will be a two-day interactive workshop that will provide best practices from income assistance models from around the World to generate ideas and facilitate discussions to identify essential supports and provisions required to live a culturally appropriate sustainable lifestyle in First Nations. Participants will have an opportunity to evaluate their current program, recommend changes to current program and contribute to the design of a new income assistance program.
