Public Notice
Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) Program
Community Development Statement
Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde
Grand Ronde Community Service Center Addition Project
The Tribe held a 2019 Tribal community input meeting in June and
many Tribal programs were displayed at open house tables, including
Social Services and the Domestic Violence program, and comments and
suggestions for the Housing and Urban Development - Indian Commu-
nity Development Block Grant (ICDBG) program were taken. Following
HUD’s Notice of Funding Availability in November, the Tribe solicited for
ICDBG project suggestions from all Tribal managers. This was followed
by discussions and updates with the General Manager and Tribal Coun-
cil. Council reviewed several eligible ICDBG project suggestions and
construction of an addition to the Community Service Center in support
of the Domestic Violence program received the most support.
ICDBG is a competitive grant program whose funds are intended
to meet an essential community development need and to benefit the
neediest segment of the population. The proposed construction of this
addition to the Community Service Center will primarily serve women
and children from low-moderate income households.
The Tribe’s Community Service Center was initially built in 1991 and
was added on to for the Children Family Services Program in 2010. Client
needs have continued to grow with domestic violence among the most
recent additions. The proposed project will construct a 2,000-square-
foot building addition with staff offices, small meeting rooms for client
services, and associated site work. The proposed development cost in
support of the Domestic Violence program is $1 million and would be
covered by $750,000 from this ICDBG grant and $250,000 from eligible
local matching funds. Building operation and maintenance costs are
estimated at $18,000 a year.
To comment on the proposed application, please contact Kim Rogers,
Planning & Grants Development manager, at 503-879-2250 or send
your comments to him at 9615 Grand Ronde Road, Grand Ronde, OR
97347. Written comments should be provided by 8:30 a.m. Tuesday,
Jan. 21, 2020.
Council will review comments collected to date at its Jan. 21, 2020,
Legislative Action Committee meeting and again at its Jan. 22, 2020,
Council meeting at which time Council will consider authorizing this ap-
plication. Council also will consider comments provided by Grand Ronde
community members in determining whether to make any modifications
to the application. The resulting application will be available for review.
The ICDBG grant application is due on Feb. 3, 2020.

The Tribe is pursuing a new language building
on the Tribal campus. While our current grant
funding is for K-4, a larger building could serve
both younger and older children. The new
building would allow the Tribe to move the Lilu
preschool class out of the rented modular
classroom and give them room for more
children.
The Tribe is reaching out to different
foundations to help fund this endeavor. Foundations may contribute to the project
but they want to see local community participation before they do. The Tribe
would love to show these foundations how much the tribal community supports
this effort through its willingness to donate. Please consider donating $1, $5, $10
or $20 to help give our students the space and the classrooms that they need. While
a dollar here and there adds up, it also gives us a list of people who have donated
and helps demonstrate our community support for the project.
• Court Year 2020-21
• Titles: Little Miss Grand Ronde
Junior Miss Grand Ronde
Senior Miss Grand Ronde
• Crowns and medallions must be
