Tribe to receive block grant funds
The Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs will receive some relief from
the high cost of responding to the
1996 winter flood disaster with a
federal Community Development
Block Grand of $37,377 announced
by Oregon Economic Development
Director Bill Scott.
The Tribe will use the funds to
help pay the matching funds needed
for 1 1 of the 53 flood recovery
projects eligible for 75 percent fed
eral assistance. The total eligible costs
of the damage repairs for those 1 1
projects is $163,562.
The block grant funds will pro
vide a portion of the 25 percent local
matching fund requirement of two
programs to help the tribe to receive
$122,673 in funds from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency for
the Public Assistance program and
the Natural Resource Conservation
Service for the Emergency Water
shed Protection program. The Tribe
will provide the remaining $3,512.
'Normally the block grant pro
gram is not one of the usual sources
of disastcrrccovcry assistance", Scott
said. "Oregon was fortunate to have
a strong advocate in Senator Mark
Hatfield who let the effort in 1996 to
approve a total of $50 million to help
recovery efforts in Oregon and other
states in the wake of many disasters
n 1995 and 1996."
Oregon received a total 9f $10.7
million in disaster recovery funding
through the Community Develop
ment Block Grant program. The Or
egon Economic Development De
partment will distribute about $4.5
million for non-metropolitan disaster-affected
areas. The city of Salem
and Multnomah, Clackamas and
Washington counties each received
separate amounts for the remainder
of the $10.7 million.
The February 1996 floods caused
extensive damage on the Warm
Springs Reservation. Approximately
two inches of rain, combined w ith 60
degree temperatures and high w inds.
rapidly melted over three feet of snow
below the 3,800 foot elevation zone
over a 24-hour period. Kah-Ncc-Ta
Village Resort alone sustained over
$8 million in flood damage which
resulted in the closure of the Village
area for the 1996 season, staff lay
offs and severe economic damage
which impacts the entire tribal
economy.
Mike Clements. The Confeder
ated Tribes' Chief Operations Offi
cer said, "Wc appreciale ihe
department's assistance in gelling us
the block grant. Our flood recovery
costs have been extremely high and
the support from stale and federal
agencies is very much needed," said
Clements.
The Oregon Economic Develop
ment Department received the funds
through the United States Depart
ment of Housing and Urban Devel
opment, the same agency that dis
tributes the Community Develop
ment Block Grant funds. The De
partment used an allocation formula
based on relative dollar damages to
establish award amounts for each
non-metropolitan county and tribe.
Affected tribes, along w ith counties,
cities, service districts and other or
ganizations have been working to
gether since January to decide how
best to use the funds. The decisions
made reflect their assessment of out
standing needs and how to use the
funds quickly and efficiently.
The Oregon Economic Develop
ment Department is a state agency
that invest lottery, federal and olher
funds to help communities and busi
nesses create better jobs and improve
their economic opportunities and
qualny of life. Currently, about one
lottery revenue dollar in ten goes to
the Oregon Economic Development
Department.
