Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians received a formula grant award of $217,863 from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Community Services under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP, CFDA 93.568). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, supports the delivery of home energy assistance services to eligible low-income households within the tribe's 11-county service area in western Oregon. LIHEAP funding enables the provision of direct utility bill payment assistance, emergency energy crisis intervention, weatherization improvements, and minor energy-related home repairs designed to reduce the financial burden of energy costs for vulnerable populations and maintain safe and healthy living conditions.

As a federally recognized Indian tribe, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians qualifies for formula-based allocation under LIHEAP's Native American tribal funding mechanism, which does not require competitive applications. The recipient must submit an annual LIHEAP Model Plan to the Administration for Children and Families demonstrating compliance with federal assurances and public participation requirements, and maintain compliance with Single Audit Act requirements and applicable federal regulations under 45 CFR Part 75 and 2 CFR Part 200.
