Our goal is to provide affordable housing to qualified applicants within the five-county service area of the Coquille Indian Tribe, which encompasses Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson, and Lane counties. We offer an attractive community on Tribal Lands with onsite medical and community centers, onsite Tribal Police, wooded views, and scenic wildlife. We also have a rental assistance program available off of Tribal Lands.

Emergency Housing Repair Program
A Tribal program that provides emergency financial assistance, enabling income-eligible Coquille families to make necessary home repairs that would affect the health and/or safety of household members. Contact Todd Tripp at 541-756-0904 to apply for this program.

Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP)
In cooperation with Oregon Coast Community Action's Low-Income Energy Assistance Program, Coquille Indian Housing Authority staff are authorized to conduct intake appointments for Coquille Tribal member households in Coos and Curry Counties and other Native American or Alaska Native households residing on Coquille Tribal Lands. This program provides a direct payment to a heating vendor to offset the high cost of home heating during the winter months for low-income households.

Low-Income Rental Program
The Low-Income Rental Program assists families with rental housing on Tribal Lands. Required monthly rental payments are based on a maximum of 30% of the household’s adjusted gross annual income.

Monthly Housing Assistance Payment (MHAP) Program
The MHAP Program is a tenant-based, monthly rental assistance opportunity. MHAP is designed to help low-income families pay rent for privately-owned housing anywhere within the five-county service area. The program is modeled after the HUD Section 8 Voucher Program, and is similar to that program in its operation. MHAP is designed to reimburse the participant a portion of their rent after the payment has been made.

Home Grant and Occupancy (HomeGO) Program
The HomeGO Program makes it possible for qualified Tribal members to buy a home on Tribal Lands with a small down payment and low monthly payments. Under this program one-half of the cost of a home is granted over a 10-year period, and the other half of the cost is paid back to CIHA over a 25-year term at a reduced interest rate. The loan is re-amortized annually based on the current national average interest rate and the interest rate is capped at 6%. For instance, on a $100,000 home approximately $50,000 of the purchase price would be granted to the homebuyer.

HUD Section 184 Loan Guarantee Program
The HUD Section 184 Loan Program provides loan guarantees for construction and acquisition of single-family homes on Tribal Lands and throughout the state. The loan guarantee may cover up to 100% of principal and interest for up to a 30-year fixed rate loan. Borrowers pay a small down payment and a 1% loan guarantee fee. Approximately 41% of monthly income may be dedicated toward a mortgage payment and there are no maximum income limits. Application may be made to any federally-approved lending institution under this program. HUD provides a web page with the program's information: http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/ih/homeownership/184/faq.cfm

Emergency Housing Program
The purpose of the Emergency Housing Program is to provide special, short-term support to qualifying Native American individuals and families who are in crisis due to lack of housing and circumstances beyond their control. To be eligible for Emergency Housing, the applicant must be referred by a recognized local social service agency which assists families in crisis.
