MCA FAMILY SUSTAINABILITY PROJECT

The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne is committed to supporting our community during these challenging times. In response to the rising cost of food driven by inflation, global tariff concerns, and the unfavourable currency exchange rate, we are pleased to announce a one-time assistance payment of $1,000 to help community households manage these challenges.

 

This initiative aims to provide immediate relief to families facing increased grocery expenses and economic uncertainty. We recognize the financial strain many are experiencing, and we are taking this step to help ease the burden.

 

👤 Who is Eligible?

Each Head of Household that is currently listed on the Akwesasne Heating Assistance Program (AHAP) eligibility list.

 

✅ How to Receive Assistance:

For those who are on the existing AHAP list, there are no additional steps required at this time. If you did not receive AHAP funds, any eligible Heads of Household are invited to contact us, provide proof of eligibility, and request to be added to the list.

 

For those who were not on the most recent AHAP list but are eligible, the deadline to be added is June 6, 2025.

 

Cheques will be distributed by MCA Chiefs at designated district locations during the week of June 16, 2025. Detailed distribution dates and times will be provided in the near future.

 

MCA remains committed to supporting our community by providing meaningful assistance to Akwesasronon during difficult times.
