Tribal Council votes to give emergency funds
On Sept. 209, the Con-
federated Tribes of Coos,
Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw
Indians Tribal Council vot-
ed unanimously to approve
Emergency COVID-19 As-
sistance to all qualified cur-
rent full- and part-time em-
ployees of CTCLUSI Tribal
Government and all Tribal
Enterprises. This includes
Three Rivers Casino Flor-
ence and Coos Bay, Ocean
Dunes Golf Links and Blue
Earth.
The Tribal Council has
determined it is imperative
to provide general welfare
assistance on an emergency
basis to eligible citizens ex-
periencing financial needs
resulting from this national
pandemic incurred between
March 1, 2020, and Oct.
1, 2021, including, but not
limited to, increased costs
of living expenses such as
food, housing, utilities,
medical and other anticipat-
ed and unanticipated living
expenses and income losses.
Tribal Council Chair
Debbie
Bossley
said,
“COVID-19 has affect-
ed our Tribal community
much longer than imag-
ined. Tribal Council recog-
nizes that it has had some
devastating effects on many
of us. We are honored to
have the resources to offer
assistance to staff and their
families during this diffi-
cult time.”
This is to provide emer-
gency economic assistance
to eligible citizens, who have
experienced financial hard-
ships during the COVID-19
pandemic, utilizing CARES
Act funding in the amount
of $1,000 for each approved
eligible applicant.
The Confederated Tribes
of Coos, Lower Umpqua
and Siuslaw Indians is a
federally recognized Tribe
made up of three tribes
(four Bands): two bands of
Coos Tribes: Hanis Coos
(Coos Proper), Miluk Coos;
Lower Umpqua Tribe; and
Siuslaw Tribe. The Tribes
trace their ancestry back to
the aboriginal inhabitants of
the South-Central coast of
Oregon. The Tribes employ
more than 600 employees
through its government and
enterprise functions.
