EMERGENCY REPAIR PROGRAM
In order to request Emergency Repair Services, participants should contact the DNHD office. We will take a
short description of the repair needed, the tribal member’s name, address, and directions to your home. The
DNHD staff will contact the Delaware Nation Enrollment Office to verify enrollment status and address and
will verify the ownership of the home.
This program is funded by the Delaware Nation Tax Commission through an annual allocation of funds and is
offered as long as funds are available. Damage caused by lack of maintence by the homeowner will not be
eligible for emergency repair assistance.
Please feel free to contact the DNHD office with your housing needs/requests at 405-247-2448.
