Band Members & Home Ownership Survey Reopened

Way’ Members,

Due to interest in participating in the survey from Members, the Home Ownership survey which was open during the beginning of 2023 will be reopened for additional responses.

The housing team is currently running a survey to better understand the needs and wants of Band Members. We ask that you only fill out this form once for accuracy of our current housing needs. If you have previously filled out this survey, please do not resubmit responses as we already have previous response data collected.
