Grand Ronde Low Income Home
Energy Assistance Program
The Grand Ronde Tribe has obtained a
grant to assist income eligible Tribal m
with energy payments, energy emergencie,
weatherization. This Low-Income Home I
ergy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is an an
nual grant from the Division of Energy
Assistance within the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services. Four
Tribes in Oregon operate this program
and must serve all income eligible Indi
ans on their Reservation or trust lands.
Outside of these lands, but within the
Tribes service area, Tribes can only serve
households with adult members of their
own Tribe. For LIHEAP, the Grand
Ronde Tribes 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 coun
ties 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
weatherization. For income eligible households the program can
provide energy assistance (utility bills, fire wood, etc.), crisis en
ergy 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 Authority at 503-879-2405 for weatherization.
