Tlingit & Haida is pleased to have been able to offer two Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act need-based programs for tribal citizen households impacted by the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic:
Family Education & Retraining Expenses
A one-time, needs-based program that supports households with unexpected education and related expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The program was established to offset some of the expenses households are facing due to home schooling, retraining because of loss or diminishment of employment, and new education required.
Family Home & Utility Expenses
A one-time, needs-based program that supports households with unexpected reductions in income and increased family expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The program was established to offset some of the expenses households are facing for rent, mortgage and utility.
These two need-based programs were developed to provide one-time financial assistance up to $500 per program per household to offset expenses for education, retraining,rent, mortgage and utilities.
Note: This support is not a per-capita distribution.
