TRIBAL PROGRAM NEWS Over-Income Housing Grants Again Available Tribal Council has once again provided the Housing Department with $200,000 through the EPR program to fund 40 over-income families with a $5,000 grant for construction rehabili tation on the primary residence they own or families who have possessor rights to their home. Over-income refers to tribal members whose income exceeds the income requirements for other tribal housing rehabilitation programs with the exception of the IHS Elders Emergency Assistance Program. Rehabilitation refers to repairs or renovations to the home, but does not include appliances, saunas, hot tubs, swimming pools, etc. Please contact the Housing Department at 1-800-922-1399, ext. 1322, or 541-444-8322 should you require additional clarification. If you are a Siletz Tribal member and have not received an over-income grant in the last six years, you can call the Housing office to request an application, come by the Housing office and ask for an application, or visit any local area office and they will provide you with an application. The selection process will be a lottery drawing of applications received this year because there is no waiting list. All applicants, successful or not, will be notified in writing. If you have any questions, please call 1-800-922-1399, ext. 1322, or 541-444-8322.
