One can never consent to creep
when one feels an impulse to soar.
Seek yea first the kingdom of

• Financial planning will be

The plan identifies the goals
and objectives for the coming year
for all Tribal housing programs
and explains how the Indian
Housing Block Grant funds and
other resources will be used to
meet these goals and objectives.
If HUD approves our plan, the
block grant funds should become
available by early June.
