Pawnee Nation Housing Authority Support Programs

What happens after you turn in an application for Housing?  Here are the steps the Housing Office uses to process applications.  

1. A written application by a responsible member of the family will be obtained from each family seeking  admission with all supporting documentation and identification attached.

2. Processing: Verified information will be analyzed and a determination made on eligibility is made with respect for the following:

          a. Verification of applicant as a family – Background checks, Landlord check

          b. Eligibility of applicant with respect to income limits for admission - Income verification with employer or letter of award. 

          c. Size of unit required for the family

          d. Preference and/or Priority of applicant family  

                    Priority #1 - Pawnee Tribal Members

                    Priority #2 - Pawnee Descendancy

                    Priority #3 - Other federally recognized tribes. Preference - Veterans, and Elders.

          e. Determination of eligibility with respect to standard of admission of Housing programs.

3.  After all verification is cleared, the application is forwarded to the waiting list based on preference, priority, family size and income.

4. Applicants should update their application annually to remain on the waiting list.

5. Once a unit becomes available the next applicant on the waiting list will be contacted.

A deposit of $300 (security deposit) and first month’s rent is due before the household can move-in. Also, if there are any other deposits such as a pet deposit, that will need to be paid before move-in.  (The Comfort Pet Policy deposit is $200.00.) All utilities must be moved in the tenants name before move-in. Letters of confirmation from the utility authority and gas company must be turned in for verification.
