The Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation is announcing the availability of COVID-19 Tribal Response Plan Programs to aid our tribal citizens who have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic.  This assistance is made available to our tribal citizens in accordance with the Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, General Welfare Exclusion Policy, and the Nation’s COVID-19 Response Plan.

These two programs described below are available for qualifying tribal citizens for Housing and Utilities assistance up to $1,000 in a single month for rent or mortgage assistance, and utilities categories for electrical and water utilities and eventually heating costs for later in the year if applicable.  Qualifying payments are made to the service provider or landlord/financial institution on behalf of the tribal citizen.

Please note this is a per household cap for both programs in any given month, a qualifying tribal citizen can apply for both housing and utilities program assistance, however, if other tribal citizens residing in the same household apply for the same program the per household cap remains the same for them as the first qualifying applicant in the household.

These programs are funded from the Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation’s apportionment of Treasury CARES-Act Relief Funds, and is subject to all the regulations and restrictions placed on the funding by the U.S. Federal Government, and are subject to change if additional guidance or regulations are released by the federal government if they choose to do so between now and December 30, 2020.  Further details on the amount that the Nation has received and the overall budget for each program and any other forms of aid from the funding will be listed in a mail-out to all tribal citizens.
