There are approximately more than 9,500 people living on WFN lands, including approximately 400 WFN Members. As our community continues to grow, we're planning for the future based on the needs of Members, residents & businesses.
The WFN Comprehensive Community Plan, last updated in 2015, provides the strategic foundation for more detailed plans and policies as they relate to the various departments within the Westbank First Nation government. Internal strategic plans reflect and encompass the basic principles set in the Plan and are implemented in department policies, programs, and community development.

Basic needs such as shelter are a necessity to living a productive and healthy life. Westbank First Nation is committed to ensuring adequate housing options are available for Members. Development services works toward implementing the strategy to identify community lands suitable for housing development, determine short and long term housing needs, and prioritize areas for development.
The WFN Allotment Commission allots Community Lands, set aside by Council, to Members who qualify for home ownership. We're working toward ensuring that every Member has the opportunity to apply for an allotment for the purpose of building their own home. In the interim, we provide non-profit rental units for Members at below market rental rates.
Our Housing Strategy takes direction from the Comprehensive Community Plan.
