Services
ENERGY CRISIS - Assistance is available under the LIHEAP program for energy-related emergencies to prevent service disconnection, reinstating service, or delivery of firewood, oil propane or wood pellets in instances were the household is unable to obtain.
WEATHERIZATION - Materials are available under the LIHEAP program for our low-income households to help make their dwelling more energy efficient and reduce the energy consumption and costs. It is a minor repair program and allows for such things as weather stripping, exterior door replacement, window glass repair or replacement, plastic window covering, door thresholds and caulking.
SENIOR HEATING - Assistance is available to enrolled Colville Tribal member seniors (age 55 and older) and/or permanently disabled (with verification) person who are head of the household and live on or within a 10-mile radius of the Colville Reservation, as a supplement to their energy needs. Colville Tribal members do NOT have to be low-income to receive assistance under this program. The household can only receive help ONCE during the current fiscal year. Households may choose only ONE type of energy source (wood, electric, propane, wood pellets, oil, etc.).
