Comanche Nation · FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Emergency Assistance (Utilities and Shelter)
Tribally funded help for enrolled Comanche members with utility disconnects or deposits, and with shelter costs including rent, mortgage or property tax — either as direct assistance or as a referral to other resources inside or outside the tribe.
Who's eligible
Tribal Citizens Only
The Social Services page lists eligibility as: "Be an enrolled Comanche Nation tribal member"; "Be 18 years of age"; "Be head of household"; "Provide proof of membership via a Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (C.D.I.B.)"; and "Submit a completed application with all required documents." The About Social Services page adds that this program "is designed to assist eligible tribal members needing financial assistance through direct assistance or referrals to other available resources within the tribe or outside agencies. Currently, this program helps with utilities and shelter costs. The applicant must be an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation and head of household." No award amount or frequency is published.
Where it's offered
