Public Notice Open For Comment
This is a Public Notice for Comment on the Grand Ronde Tribe’s
application for 2017 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program
(LIHEAP) funding. 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 as-
sistance (utility bills, fire wood, etc.), crisis energy assistance, 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 program,
please contact Social Services at 800-242-8196 for energy assis-
tance and Tribal Housing at 503-879-2405 for weatherization.
The Tribe is taking public comment on the 2017 LIHEAP applica-
tion and plan and the associated policies which are to be submitted
by Sept. 1, 2016. The latest draft will be available for review at
the Social Services Department at the Community Center starting
Aug. 19, 2016. It will also be available at Tribal Housing’s booth at
the powwow starting Aug. 19, 2016. You may also call Planning &
Grants Development at 503-879-2250 with your comments on the
plan or to obtain more information about the plan.
