Updated LIHEAP Application Available
Summer LIHEAP applications are now being accepted!
LIHEAP is a federally funded program that assists low income households with their home energy costs. Priority will be given to applicants who meet the income guidelines and have NOT received assistance from DHS, Cherokee Nation, or any other federally funded program within the past 6 months (once a year for heating and once a year for cooling.) We will verify with each federal program for confirmation of whether or not assistance has already been received for the current season.
The tribe has (7-14) business days to process an application. Once processed, we have up to 14 days to submit payment after we have pledged the account. It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide the information requested and only fully completed applications will be processed.

Artists Wanted
DELAWARE TRIBAL MEMBERS… Are you an artist? Can you draw pencil or ink sketches of this quality (below)? The Tribal Center has a portrait series of Delaware Tribe Chairmen/Chiefs during most of the 20th century (from George Bullette to Lewis B. Ketchum). The examples shown here are Joe Bartles (1922-1951) and Bruce Townsend (1970-1978). We are seeking Delaware Tribal members to submit a sample sketch of any “head shot” of any person to demonstrate the quality of their art work. If selected the artist may be commissioned to produce a six-part series of portraits from Chiefs Curtis Zunigha (1994-98) through current Chief Chet Brooks.
