Grand Ronde Low Income Home
Energy Assistance Program
The Grand Ronde Tribe has obtained a LIHE;
assist income eligible Tribal members with ent
ments, energy emergencies and weatherization. Th
Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHI
is an annual grant from the Division of Energy
sistance within the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services. Four Tribes in Oregon oper
ate this program and must serve all income eli
gible Indians on their Reservation or trust lands.
Outside of these lands, but within the Tribes
service area, Tribes can only serve households
vwith adult members Df their own Tribe. For
LIHEAP, the Grand Ronde Tribes service area
is the Tribe's typical six-county service area
(Polk, Yamhill, Marion, Multnomah, Washing
ton and Tillamook counties) plus Clackamas
County. Tribal members in these counties must
contact Grand Ronde to receive assistance, instead not the community action
agency in their area. The Tribal program will allow more Tribal members to be
assisted than would otherwise be possible.
There has been a great need for energy assistance especially for weatheriza
tion. 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 1-800-242-8196
for energy assistance and the Grand Ronde Tribal Housing Au
thority at 503-879-2405 for weatherization.
