Wìli Department is proud to announce the completion of new houses on Gentry Loop in Myrtle Creek as part of the Low Income Rental Housing Program, and more homes are on the way.
Four new houses being constructed this year. The houses are all two-bedroom homes, as opposed to many of the three- or four-bedroom houses currently rented, in order to better facilitate the needs of Tribal families who apply.
“They have a bigger yard and a smaller house,” says Jennifer Bryant, Housing Director.
The program utilizes a need-based waiting list, in which all applicants are assigned to rental properties based on age, income, number of people in the family, and other factors, such as those in need of emergency assistance.
To qualify, Tribal households must make at most 80% of the U.S. median income, with Elders and those with higher occupancy living in the home receiving higher priority.
Tribal members may apply anytime for Low Income Tribal Housing. Interested Tribal members can apply by:
