The Shinnecock Indian Housing Rehabilitation Program is available to enrolled Shinnecock Tribal Members who currently reside in their homes. The program currently addresses housing needs that include reconstruction and rehabilitation, disabled accessibility (ramps and rails), weatherization, energy efficient upgrades (heating), as well as mold remediation.

 

The Shinnecock Indian Housing Rehabilitation Program assistance applications are processed in the order in which they are received. Elders who have eminent health or safety concerns may be prioritized. Program eligibility is income-based as defined by local HUD guidelines.

​

Housing assistance applicants who have previously applied to the program and received assistance must wait a 2-year period before reapplying.
