Emergency Assistance Program
There is an emergency services program funded through the BIA that you can apply for if you need help with damages to your primary residence. The Catoosa office is currently closed due to power outage, so call the Pryor office to get your application started: 918-453-5000 ext. 2390. This is for up to $1200.00 in aid, and there are no income guidelines. They do assess your need, however. Must have pictures and can apply over the phone.

"As a Cherokee growing up in Owasso. It wasnt easy finding cultural events within my district. My wife and I were left to volunteer and attend cultural events outside of our city and the Cherokee Nation. Now thanks to Joe Deere for bringing Tahlequah to Owasso. My family and I have a sense of cultural connection in our home town. "
