Over-Income Grant Program ready
for applications for repair/renovation
The Tenas Illahee Child Care Center (TICCC) would like to say “thank you” to
Kathy Kentta-Robinson from Healthy Traditions; Gail Barker, a TICCC parent;
and Marie Mason, a child care worker at TICCC, for all of their ideas and hard
work that went into redoing our strawberry patch. When they started, our straw-
berry patch was overrun with weeds and it took several days of hard work to get
it to what it looks like now. Thanks again, ladies.
The Over-Income Rehabilitation Construction program funds over-income families
with a $5,000 grant for construction rehabilitation on the primary residence they own.
The over-income grant is for eligible applicants and is limited to one grant per

you are not eligible for five years – Down Payment Assistance; the NAHASDA

Rehabilitation refers to repairs or renovations to the home, but does not include

Over-income refers to Tribal members whose income exceeds the income limits set
by the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA).
