Use of Funds
Allowed Uses
Needs to be met: To (1) leverage and expand assistance to single families and veterans, (2) address the dilapidated and overcrowded housing conditions in the Tribes’ service areas, (3) collaborate with other Federal housing programs to increase home ownership, repair and rehabilitation opportunities and develop strategies for increased energy efficiency and sustainability of new housing on Indian lands; and (4) increase the number of families assisted overall.
Activities/projects to be conducted: Tiwahe Housing funding should be used in a matter more consistent with the Initiative and portions of their Tiwahe Housing funds may used in combination with other resources identified in each Tribe’s Tiwahe plan in the following areas:
• Foster care: a system in which a minor has been placed into a ward, group home, or private home of a certified caregiver, referred to as a "foster parent". The placement of the child is normally arranged through the government or a social service agency.
• Transitional Housing: Housing with a time limit on how long you can stay in the housing or receive the housing assistance. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines transitional housing as stays of up to twenty-four months (but stays can be shorter).
• Short-Term or Temporary Housing: Situations in which the housing situation is intended to be very short-term or temporary (thirty, sixty, or ninety days or less).
• Emergency Shelter: to provide a place to stay or bed to sleep in overnight if you become homeless or otherwise experience a housing crisis and have no place to go.
*Restrictions: No new construction. Tiwahe housing funds support renovations.
*No discretionary funds.
*No loan assistance applicable.
