Need

The tribe's 2025 housing survey found 41% of homes needed major repairs and 1 in 6 households lived in overcrowded conditions. Rehabilitation keeps families in homes they already own at a lower cost per household than new construction.

Useful life and affordability

Each rehabilitated home carries a useful-life restriction scaled to the amount invested, recorded in the authority's agreement with the homeowner.

Tribal certification

The plan is certified by the tribe's chairperson after approval by tribal council resolution. [A real plan includes the certifications in HUD's current form.]
