Notice: Grand Ronde Low Income
Home Energy Assistance Program
The Grand Ronde Tribe has obtained a LIHEAP grant to assist income eli
gible Tribal members with energy payments, energy emergencies and weather
ization. This Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is an
annual grant from the Division of Energy Assistance within the U.S. Depart
ment of Health and Human Services. Four Tribes in Oregon operate this pro
gram and must serve all income eligible Indians on their reservation or trust
lands. Outside of these lands, but within the Tribe's service area, Tribes can
only serve households with adult members of their own Tribe. For LIHEAP the
Grand Ronde Tribe's service area is the Tribe's typical Six County service area
(Polk, Yamhill, Marion, Multnomah, Washington and Tillamook counties) plus
Clackamas County. Tribal members in these counties will now need to contact
Grand Ronde to receive assistance instead of from the community action agency
in their area. The Tribal program will allow more Tribal members to be as
sisted than would otherwise have been possible.
There has been a great need for energy assistance especially for weatheriza
tion where the Tribe already has a list of eligible Tribal members in need. For
income eligible households the program can provide energy assistance (utility
bills, fire wood, etc.), crisis energy assistance, and weatherization (e.g. furnace
repair).
If you are interested in obtaining services please contact Social Services at
800-242-8196 for energy assistance and the Grand Ronde Tribal Housing Au
thority at 503-879-2445 for weatherization.
