Applying for HUD housing
is simply a matter of filling out

based on family income and
family composition. Applicants
are put through a training course
to orientate them on the HUD
. contract and their lease, as well
as home maintenance. In the
future, the training will include
information on establishing and
re-establishing credit.
A total of 29 people have
gone through the training
course, Prow said.
"We're hoping to have all 29
in homes within two years," he
said. There are currendy 65 on
the tribes' HUD waiting list
There are three classifica
tions of housing served by the
Housing Department, including
the mutual help buy program
through HUD, the tribal rental
program, and low-income and
HUD rentals. One class of
housing not yet offered, but one
that Prow hopes to have avail
able on the Warm Springs res
ervation, is private home own
ership, including the possibility
of duplexes tribal members can
own, to use as a residence on
one side and rent out on an en
trepreneurial basis on the other.
