Kiowa Tribe · FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Kiowa Tribe General Assistance
A federal program providing temporary financial aid toward basic living expenses, intended to help a household stabilize while it works toward a longer-term solution. Applications are reviewed according to federal guidelines.
Who's eligible
Any CDIB Holder Income Based
Required documentation is a completed application, a CDIB, verification of residence, Social Security cards for all family members, verification of income, verification of applications for TANF or SSI, verification of enrollment in GED classes if applicable, a complete health exam if applicable, completed employment contact forms, and an Individual Self-Sufficiency Plan. The department page groups General Assistance with its federally funded programs, which it restricts by service area, and reserves "all enrolled Kiowa members and/or Kiowa households" for the tribally funded Emergency and Burial programs. The page does not say whose CDIB qualifies.
Where it's offered
County
Caddo, Kiowa, and Comanche counties, Oklahoma. The department page: "General Assistance: Caddo, Kiowa, and Comanche Counties Only." This is narrower than the same department's five-county LIHEAP area.
Location:
208 Hardee Street West, Anadarko, OK 73005
How to apply
The department posts LIHEAP, Emergency Assistance, and Burial Assistance applications online but not a General Assistance application. Request one from Social Services at 405-648-0417 or ss01@kiowatribe.org, or pick up a paper copy at the Kiowa Complex in Carnegie or the Social Services office in Anadarko. Bring or attach every document on the required list; the department warns that if a caseworker requests additional documents during processing, prompt compliance is necessary to avoid denial or delay. Mailing address: PO Box 369, Carnegie, OK 73015.
