For the record: Councilwoman Jennifer Webster stated I really appreciate the consideration that the

Business Committee has had in regards to masking for GTC. Again, I will re-state that I think this

creates confusion. I just believe our tribe has done so much to protect our community and our elders.

Having masking optional at an in-person meeting is not appropriate. I would prefer that we would

require masking. Our average meetings are four hours and I don’t think it is a huge inconvenience. I

think that it’s almost selfish that we would not require masking and it creates confusion. I would just

prefer that the tribe would err on the side of safety and require masking for any in-person meetings.

Thank you.

Major Home Repair Report

History

Originally starting in 2010, the Elder Major Home Repair program was established to help elders

eliminate any health and safety risks to remain in their homes. The program served elders ages

70 and older as well as elders 55-69 that have a documented disability.

In May 2020, a team worked to create and implement a program to use disability endowment

funds for services that will help Oneida members who are disabled or whose disability is pending.

It was determined that the program would be administered under the former Elder Services.

Since Elder Services provided services to elders and all those who are disabled, we decided to

change the name of the department to Aging and Disability Services.

The Elder Major Home Repair program had been discontinued in 2020 due to lack of funding

during the pandemic. In September 2021, Self-Governance offered to use BIA ARPA Housing

Improvement funding to bring back a program similar to the previous Elder Major Home Repair.

With the funding available, the emphasis on the department moving to elders and all disabled,

and the need to expand services for most programming, a team began to work on a new program

to serve more elders and to include all members who are disabled. To ensure we are serving as

many elders and those with disabilities as possible, we implemented an income limit of 250%

FPL. Those income limits are:

x 1 person = $33,975

x 2 persons = $45,775

Purpose

Aging and Disability Services Major Home Repair Program provides major home repair services

to eliminate a health and/or safety risk to Oneida elders or Oneida members with a documented

disability who are homeowners that live within Brown, Outagamie and Milwaukee County.

Funding

Historically, the program was funded with tribal contribution in the amount of $199,000/year

and allowed for up to $10,000 in repairs per household in a lifetime. The BIA funds would allow

us to expand the program across 3 counties.

FY2022 - $250,000

BIA contribution - $486,000 (available until spent)

Minimum members to be served – 73 elders and/or members with disabilities

Communication

With a start date of July 1, 2022, the program was communicated via Oneida Facebook Live,

flyers were handed out during meal deliveries, posted on our Facebook page, and sent through

communication several times. The flyer was also posted in the Kalihwisaks newsletter.

Data

There were 9 elders with approved applications for the discontinued program prior to the

pandemic. To show good faith, we decided to allow their home repairs to be completed with

new bids. There were 3 of the 9 that completed the application and bids to get their home

repairs.

To date, we have 83 applications that qualify for home repair. Below is the breakdown by county:

x Brown County: 40

x Outagamie County: 38

x Milwaukee County: 5

Out of the 83 eligible applications, 37 have not submitted the required documents to complete

the request.

There are 20 denials:

x 17 denied for over the 250% poverty level

x 1 denied for having the work completed and requesting reimbursement

x 1 denied for no health and safety risk

x 1 denied for home they didn’t own

There were four appeals to the decisions. The four appeals were due to the income limit. During

one appeal, it was found that the elder was seeking reimbursement for services already provided

and paid for.

NOTE: 3 of the 20 denials would not have been eligible under the previous program guidelin
