Update, July 22, 2022: Qalipu First Nation (QFN) Housing Division are committed to working our members to achieve their housing goals, including repair and maintenance for homeowners. At this time, we would like to thank everyone who applied to the “Housing Repair Program”. Unfortunately, due to limited funding available under this program and a high volume of received applications, not all applicants will be supported. With this in mind, only those successful will be notified by the end of the day Friday, July 22nd, 2022. With over 350 applications received and $200,000.00 in available funding, approximately 15% of those applications received funding support.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our Housing Division team. Any additional housing support programs that come available in the near future will be posted on our website www.qalipu.ca and Facebook page.
Update, June 24th, 2022: The deadline to submit applications under the Home Repair Program has now been reached. Successful applicants will be notified by our Housing Support Team.
Qalipu First Nation (QFN) Housing Division is pleased to announce the launch of the Home Repair Program Monday April 25th, 2022. The Home Repair Program (HRP) serves to provide financial assistance up to $5,000.00 for QFN band members who reside in Newfoundland & Labrador. While funding is limited, the collection of data and need for similar programs will be thoroughly assessed during this launch.
HRP is intended to provide such financial assistance towards housing repairs to increase the functionality, sustainability, and longevity that will ensure a safe and sound standard of living specific to members needs. Applicants must submit all required documentation by June 24th, 2022. It is strongly encouraged that applicants and/or co-applicants review the application in its entirety to ensure all required documentation is included before mailing it back to QFN Housing Division. Applicants and/or co-applicants with questions surrounding the application process can reach out to 709-634-3176 or 709-634-0411.
Program Eligibility:
A co-applicant can be the homeowner who is a not a member of the band, and is applying for their live-in dependent, who is a registered band member. Additionally, a co-applicant can be a member of the band applying for a dependent, who is not a registered member of the band.
Please Note: If housing ownership is in the name of a non-member spouse or partner (co-applicant), it will be necessary to provide further documentation to support that you are a resident of the same household.
Here are some quick points to be brought to the attention of band members when filling out your application:

Please join Mr. Dan Frawley from the Nipissing First Nation to learn more about the Canadian
Conservation Corps Youth Program offered by the Canadian Wildlife Federation.
The CCC seeks to first connect youth of all backgrounds aged 18 – 30 to the natural spaces in Canada
through a two–week expedition in the outdoors and then to build upon that passion by placing them
with the conservation groups doing essential work to protect, rehabilitate, and educate about important
conservation issues across the country. Finally, our participants bring their experience back home to
deliver a service project in their own communities, making a direct impact and educating others about
local causes and issues.
We’re also a barrier–free program accepting participants from a wide variety of backgrounds where pairs
of our participants complete a 3–month placement at a conservation organization, working full–time to
learn from and help with their goals. The CCC ensures that these passionate participants have all
necessary gear, accommodations, and anything else they need to be successful at their placements and
our goal is that each pair of participants provide a valuable contribution to their placement organization
during their time there while themselves gaining new perspectives, working to address environmental
issues, and the experience to begin or build a career in conservation.
The next group begins this May in Newfoundland. This group will be sea–kayaking in or near the Bay of
Exploits, dates as follows:
Stage 1: May 10th – June 2nd
Stage 2: June 12th – Sept. 3rd
Innovation Lab: Sept. 3rd – Sept. 6th
The final group in Atlantic Canada this year is in late August in Nova Scotia. This group will be sea–
kayaking amongst the LaHave Islands, dates as follows:
Stage 1: Aug. 19th – Sept. 11th
Stage 2: Sept. 18th – Dec. 10th
Innovation Lab: Dec. 10th – 13th
