Housing article correction
The July 1 article on the Tribe's housing pro
grams contained an error which has caused some
misunderstanding with readers.
The article stated that the Elder community "will
house tribal Elders with low to moderate income (be
tween $25,400-$29,000) for about 30 percent of
their annual income."
This statement is true, except for the income
range. It should have read "maximum annual
income for one person is $25,400, and maximum
annual income for two people is $29,400."
Some Elders believed that they had to have an
income of at least $25,400 to qualify for "low-income"
which seemed ridiculous! We apologize
for the misunderstanding.
Note: The Elders' Housing Project is currently
underway, but has fallen behind schedule due in part
to complications with the Water Association.
