Siletz Contract Health Service requires
uninsured children to apply
for OHP/Healthy Kids
Healthy Kids provides no-cost, low-cost and full-cost health coverage options
for uninsured Oregon children and teens up to age 19. Coverage lasts for one full
year and covers all health needs, including doctor visits, dental care, vision, mental
or behavioral health services, prescriptions and more. Children will not be turned
away because of pre-existing conditions or put on a waiting list.
American Indians and Alaska Natives who qualify for the low-cost option do
not pay a monthly premium. No family makes too much for Healthy Kids. Even
middle-income families may qualify for coverage on a sliding scale. For example,
a family of four can earn as much as $69,384 per year and may qualify for the
low-cost option.

If homebuying is a goal for you but you aren’t ready yet:
If you are ready to buy a home:
Siletz Saves! IDA Program
Down Payment Assistance Program
If you aren’t ready to buy yet and at least one of these situations sounds like
you, Siletz Saves! might be perfect for you:
•
•
•
•
I have some credit issues to clean up.
I don’t have enough income to make a mortgage payment.
I don’t understand how everything works.
I’m still in school but nearly finished.
The IDA Program is a matched savings program. It helps low-income Tribal
members understand their credit, correct credit issues and save toward the
purchase of a first home. Participants make regular deposits into an individual
development account or IDA. The amount saved is then matched $3 for every
$ 1 saved — a 300 percent return! Participants must save for at least six months
up to three years and attend financial fitness classes.
You can find out by asking yourself some questions:
•
Do I have a steady source of income (usually a job)?
•
•
Have I been employed on a regular basis for the last 2-3 years?
Is my current income reliable?
•
Do I have a good record of paying my bills?
•
Do I have few or no outstanding debts (like car payments)?
•
Do I have some money saved?
•
Do I have the ability to pay a mortgage every month, plus additional costs?
If you answered yes to these questions, then you might be ready. Give me
a call to find out about the Down Payment Assistance Program. It helps with
closing costs and a down payment when purchasing your first home.
