General Manager's Report The Tribal Council has authorized the General Manager to develop and submit a proposal to the Housing and Urban Development Agency (HUD). The proposal is for the construction of a 4000 sq.ft. Social Services facility (sketch shown below) to be placed. near the Depot. The Grand Ronde Proposal (for $250,000) must compete for funding with all other Tribes in the Northwest (33 Tribes in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho), but we are optimistic that our proposal will receive favorable reviews. If funded, construction could begin as early as mid-August or September of 1985.
