Four (4) Indian Tribe organizations in North Dakota will administer LIHEAP (tribal LIHEAP) for Indian households residing within the Reservation Boundaries. They are Standing Rock, Turtle Mountain, Fort Totten, and Fort Berthold Three Affiliated Tribes.

 

Tribal LIHEAP is not part of the state’s LIHEAP program.

 

Non-Indian households residing within the boundaries of the reservations will be served by the appropriate Human Service Zone Board. Mixed households residing within these reservations that include both Indian and non-Indian adults may elect to be served by either the tribal organization or the Human Service Zone Board, although the Indian or non-Indian designation of the head of the household is the normal determining factor.

 

The Human Service Zone (HSZ) involved must establish continuous lines of communications and coordination with the tribal organizations to resolve problems and avoid duplicate payments.

 

The Human Service Zone (HSZ) will serve both Indian and non-Indian households residing within the boundaries of the Lake Traverse reservation.
