Teslin Tlingit Council

The Teslin Tlingit Council is actively involved in the implementation process, attempting to build new ways of becoming self sufficient in a contemporary world while continuing to prosper in the traditional ways, retaining the language, culture and laws for future generations. The Nation's Capital and Infrastructure Department manages 40 rental units in Teslin and encourages its citizens to accept the responsibility of home ownership through program incentives for affordable housing, upgrades and the building of new homes. The First Nations Market Housing Fund is a welcomed opportunity in the community for expansion of privately owned homes or market rental housing, in response to a growing demand for housing.
