The funding that is allocated to first nation communities is proposal-based funding for a specific project. If there is funding allocated for six housing units, for example, in a first nation community, there needs to be a clear project scope, with deadlines for when deliverables are achieved at certain milestones. Then disbursements are done, and then there's a final inspection for budget 2016 funding.
