The Tribal Housing Authority is out of Tribally
funded down payment assistance at this time.
Student Rental Assistance grant update
The Tribal Housing Authority is happy to announce that the Stu
dent Rental Assistance program will be reinstated effective Sept.
1 as anticipated. For students who were on the program when
it was suspended, you will not need to submit a new application
- simply make sure you have sent Deborah Kroeker your grades
from the last term and your schedule for the new term. If your
classes start in August, you will not receive an August prorated
assistance check. Your assistance will start effective Sept. 1.
For students new to the SRA program, you will need to submit
an application as soon as possible. They are available at the
www.grtha.org along with instructions or you can pick them up
at the Housing offices. There is a "30 day prior to the first day
of school" application deadline. Because of timing issues, if your
classes start in August, we will waive that requirement and hold
to a "7 days prior to the first day of school" deadline. But again,
that is only for students whose classes start in August. The rest
of you still need to get completed applications to us 30 days before
your first day of class.
Please direct any questions to SRAgrandronde.org.
Are you a girl between the ages of 11-14 and live in Grand Ronde, Wil
lamina or Sheridan
An informational meeting will be held in Grand Ronde at 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday, Aug. 7, at the softball field.
The team will be coached by Gregg Leno and Kevin Simmons, with
help from other community people. Young girls and families interested
are encouraged to call Gregg Leno at 971-237-0147 or Kevin Simmons at
541-689-5822. This is a girls' 14 and under (U14) travel fast-pitch softball
team being formed to play in a double-headers fall league on Sundays in
the local area. We need at least 12 girls between 11-14 years old to field
a solid team. The North American Fastpitch Association is a competitive
softball organization that offers fast-pitch teams the opportunity to play
in a competitive double-headers league on Sundays in the local area begin
ning the first weekend in September. The league ends with a tournament
in early October. The fall ball league offers girls the opportunity to face
teams from across the Pacific Northwest and continue developing softball
skills in a competitive and positive softball environment.
Players will need to commit two evenings per week for practices and
Sundays for games. The scheduling will be flexible to work around other
school activities and fall sports. Girls and families will need to commit to
attending practices and games (practices will begin in mid-August and
most likely be held in Grand Ronde). B
