Housing Rehabilitation
The Tiwahe Housing Improvement Program began in 2018 with funding from the Bureau of Indian Affairs that allowed us to repair homes on the reservation with approximately $50,000 per home. The work began beginning in the oldest quadrants of the reservation first. In 2019 and 2020, Colorado Health Foundation, Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, and Colorado Department of Local Affairs each contributed $300,000 to the Tiwahe HIP Program and the program was renamed Colorado Ute Mountain Helping Hands Home Improvement Program.
