Please submit your Alternative Placement Request Form to the Placement Desk indicating you are looking for a placement within the Staff Model Agency Operated Home and the Placement Desk will forward your Intake package.

Once completed please submit to Placement Desk at email: tikinaganplacmentdesk@tikingan.org

Incomplete packages will be returned to the worker.

A Mamow Keenikahn-Apowin conference will be held with the Residential Placement Review Committee to identify best placement for child or youth with referring worker.
