The program page states: "Qualified elders, age 62 and up, can receive up to $8,000 in tax free assistance for home repairs, renovation and rehabilitation," and carries an explicit income note: "As an Elder over the age of 62, you are exempt of any income requirement." Required documents are a copy of the CDIB card, proof of homeownership including legal description (deed, abstract of title), proof of residency in the form of a utility bill in the elder’s name at that address, and proof of age. If a mortgage exists it must be in the name of the elder tribal member. The maximum is $8,000 per house even if more than one homeowner in the household qualifies, and once the maximum is used the home is ineligible for further assistance from this program for two years. Covered work includes water, sewage, sanitation, major electrical, heating and cooling issues and gas leaks; hot water heaters, sub-floors, flooring, foundations, roofs, doors, windows, emergency generators, cabinets, drywall, siding and weatherization; tree trimming or removal where trees endanger the foundation, roof, water or sewage lines; handicap accessibility renovations; and repair or replacement of ranges, cooktops, hoods, ovens, refrigerators, washers and dryers. The elder selects their own contractor and submits the quote for approval. CNHA has announced a waitlist for this program and asks applicants to update the application annually with a Statement of Continued Interest. Appeals go in writing to the Executive Director.
