During the eoming months, the tribe's Planning Department staff will be developing and distributing dif ferent surveys at different times to determine tribal membership needs. We want to send out several dur ing the year that are targeted to spe cific areas of service needs. For ex ample, we plan to distribute a survey targeting tribal veterans to determine how we can best plan for resource development. In 2006. we distributed a hous ing survey to the 1 I-county service area in Oregon. This coming year, we would like to distribute a more com prehensive housing and housing- related services survey to the entire membership for input. We are providing this notice in advance in hopes that when you re ceive the survey you will take the time to complete it. The information will, as always, be confidential. Please consider this your oppor tunity to give input into the ongoing process that starts with the 10-year comprehensive plan and expands to cover unmet needs.
