Grand Ronde Low-Income
Home Energy Assistance Program
The Grand Ronde Tribe is operating its
own Low-income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) to
assist income eligible Grand
Ronde Tribal members with 'f
energy payments (utility bills,
firewood, etc.), energy
emergencies and weatherization
(e.g. furnace repairs).
Households with an adult Grand
Ronde Tribal member are eligible to
apply within Polk, Yamhill, Marion,
Washington, Multnomah, Tillamook and Clackamas counties.
CTGR members in these counties need to contact Grand Ronde to
receive assistance instead of from the community action agency in
their area. Grand Ronde 's program enables more CTGR members to
be served than would otherwise have been possible.
If you are interested in obtaining services, contact Social Services at
1 -800-242-8 1 96 for energy assistance and the Grand Ronde Tribal
I lousing Autliority at 503-879-2405 for weatherization. The Tribe's
LI1 1EAP program also serves all income eligible Indians on Grand
Ronde Reservation or trust land.
