The Grand Ronde Tribe obtained a LIHEAP grant last year from the Division of Energy Assistance within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This grant program assists income-eligible Tribal members with energy assistance (utility bills, firewood, etc.), crisis energy assis- tance and weatherization (e.g. furnace repair, caulking, insulation). The Tribe’s LIHEAP service area includes Polk, Yamhill, Marion, Multnomah, Washington, Tillamook and Clackamas counties. If you are interested in obtaining services from the current pro- gram, please contact Social Services at 800-242-8196 for energy assistance and Tribal Housing at 503-879-2405 for weatherization. The Tribe is taking public comment on the 2016 LIHEAP applica- tion and plan, which are to be submitted by Sept. 1, 2015. The latest draft will be available for review at the Planning & Grants Development Department at the Adult Education Building starting Aug. 14, 2015. It also will be available at Tribal Housing’s booth at the Powwow starting Aug. 14, 2015. You also may call the Planning & Grants Development Department at 503-879-2250 with your comments on the plan or to obtain more information about the plan. n 11 Chalk Picassos Photo by Michelle Alaimo Amaya Harwood colors in a palm tree leaf during the Parking Lot Picassos sidewalk chalk contest at the Education Department parking lot on the Tribal campus on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
