This 4-page form was originally issued on November 10, 2015, and has been used to assess housing needs and determine eligibility for benefits including home repair, renovation, or new construction assistance.
To complete this application, you must provide certification of tribal enrollment, proof of income (including tax returns and retirement income), family composition details, current housing conditions, and land ownership verification. Local BIA office staff review all completed submissions and may request additional service records or documentation before approving assistance.

Applicants must return a fully completed and signed application to their local BIA office along with all required supporting documents. Incomplete applications may cause delays in county-level processing and review.
