The Emergency Rental Assistance Program has been very successful in assisting tribal member renters across the United States. Due to the amount of weekly assistance provided to members, the Sault Tribe Housing Authority must now ensure that there are sufficient funds to cover all remaining obligated assistance payments to those approved applications.

Effective Monday, March 14, 2022, there will be a temporary 2- to 3-week suspension on accepting and processing any further applications for the program. During that time, a comprehensive review of current approved applications will be completed to accurately forecast the current commitment of financial assistance and to determine the amount of grant funds available to process additional applications.

The Sault Tribe Housing Authority anticipates that a limited number of applications will be accepted and processed after completing the comprehensive review. The application period will then close as the grant funds will be expended.
