Comanche Nation · ELDER CARE
Grasshopper Program (Lawn Care and Tree Pruning)
Free grass control in spring and summer and tree pruning through the winter months for Comanche elders and permanently disabled tribal members in their own homes.
Who's eligible
Tribal Citizens Only
The program page states applicants must be an enrolled Comanche Nation tribal member and: "The elder must be the head of the household"; "Reside in the home for which the lawn mowing services are requested"; "Be 62 years of age or older"; or "100% Permanently Disabled if under the age of 62"; and "Reside in Comanche, Cotton, Caddo, Tillman, and Jackson counties." Applicants must provide proof of residency (a gas, water or electric utility bill) and, if under 62, legal documentation of 100% disability. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.
Where it's offered

Five counties in southwest Oklahoma: Comanche, Cotton, Caddo, Tillman and Jackson. Note this is not the same five counties as the tribe’s main service area — Grasshopper covers Jackson County and does not cover Kiowa.
