Grand Ronde Tribal Housing Authority
NOTICE
Home Repair Grant Program Expanding!
If you live in Washington State or California and your home is in need of
repairs, you will want to read this!
The Tribal Council, in consultation with the Housing Authority Board
of Commissioners, has approved the expansion of the Home Repair
Grant Program outside the State of Oregon to now include the States of
Washington and California. This expansion will first be offered as a pilot
project during the remaining months in 2005, at which time the project
will be evaluated for consideration of continued funding. Five applicants
will be randomly selected from each State from among the applications
received.
This means that program eligible Tribal members who reside in Wash
ington and California will be able to apply for a chance to receive a Home
Repair Grant up to a maximum of $10,000 to make repairs to their home.
To apply for a Home Repair Grant, the applicant must be a member of
the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, 18 years of age or older, live
within one of the States, meet income requirements and live in and own
the home needing repairs.
Applications will be available on August 1, 2005. You can obtain an
application by calling 1-503-879-2401 or 1-800-422-0232 extension 2401 and
one will be mailed to you, or through the Tribe's website. Applications
must be postmarked no later than September 1, 2005 to qualify. All appli
cations will be double checked for appropriate post office date stamp to
qualify for entry into the drawing.
After the application period has closed, all applications will be checked
for completeness and collected for a lottery drawing to determine the order
in which the households will be served. Applications not selected for the
pilot project will be placed on a waiting list to receive a grant if the Ex- "
panded Home Repair Grant is approved for continued funding.
