Housing rehab for Tenino Apartments
Housing workers making
some renovations to the
Tenino Apartments. The
Deer Loop units are getting
new siding, new windows and
heat pumps, and renovations
on the interior.
The Eagle Way units are
seeing new roofing and sid-
ing, patios and sidewalks.
When finished, the total cost
will be about $1.34 million,
funded mainly by two Indian
Community Development
Block Grants.
A total of 49 units will see
improvements. Housing di-
rector Scott Moses updated
Tribal Council on the project
at Housing update last week.
He shared this Housing in-
formation:
Housing employees 23
people, with 22 tribal mem-
bers and one MIT. The
Housing enterprise manages
a total of 386 units, plus 43
trailer court units.
The report to Council pro-
vided details as to the type
of housing—Low Rent, Mu-
tual Help, NAHASDA
Homeownership, Tribal units,
etc.—and the number of

work orders per category.
Further information:
Housing has had two posi-
tive annual audits, or “un-
modified with no findings,” in
a row, a first for the enter-
prise, Councilman Moses
said. This means Housing is
now considered a low-risk
auditee, he said.
Housing rehabilitated 61
HUD and NAHASDA (Na-
tive American Housing Assis-
tance and Self Determination
Act) units in 2014.
The enterprise is manag-
ing four HUD grants, and two
non-HUD grants, totaling
over $3.374 million.
Housing is building 35
new units at Greeley Heights,
total cost of $9.7 million,
through a partnership with
state and federal agencies,
and tribal and private enter-
prises.

Telecom continues growth
The War m Springs
Telecom is implementing
a plan to serve visitors at
Lake Billy Chinook.
This would be a new
source of revenue for the
enterprise, said Jose
Matanane, Telecom gen-
eral manager. The visitors
at the lake would have ac-
cess to the internet
through a daily subscrip-
tion, activated at a sub-
scription site that appears
as a splash page on their
device.
Matanane gave this
update to Tribal Council
last week. Some other in-
for mation from the
Telecom update:
The enterprise now pro-
vides phone service to
over 750 homes on the
reservation, with over
1,000 customer lines.
Some households, such
as multi-generational
homes, have more than
one line through the
Telecom.
The enterprise be-
came profitable starting
in February of last year,
and has seen a steady in-
crease in revenue since
that time, Matanane said.
It is possible, he said,
that the Telecom could
provide a tribal dividend
in 2017. Meanwhile, the
Telecom is paying back
the tribal Credit and
Business Investment Re-
volving Fund (BIRF)
loans that helped get the
enterprise off the ground
in early 2012.
