ATTENTION HOUSING TENANTS

The mission of the Grand Traverse Band Housing Department is to provide and promote safe, adequate and affordable housing opportunities for GTB Tribal Members. As the facilitator of housing for the tribal communities, the Housing Department is peshawbestownhousing2.jpgresponsible for creating a healthy living environment for families through responsive initiatives that address social and economic concerns via a solution-oriented education based housing program. The Grand Traverse Band places a priority on homeownership as a means to stabilize communities by promoting self-sufficiency. While housing families is the primary mission of the Housing Department, the focus is on creating housing opportunities by assisting families to obtain the required knowledge necessary to make informed life decisions. In the absence of eligible GTB Tribal Members, the GTB Housing Department will provide these opportunities to other Federally Recognized Indian Families that live within the Grand Traverse Band six-county service area.

*HOW TO BECOME A RESIDENT TRIBAL MEMBER

To become a Resident Tribal Member, a GTB Tribal Member must live within the Tax Agreement Area and register with the Revenue Office located in the Accounting offices of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. Every month, the Tribe sends the information obtained from the Residency Forms (Resident Tribal Member application form) to the State of Michigan. Resident Tribal Member Status takes effect on the 1st day of proceeding month. For example, if the Revenue Office receives and approves the Residency Form on the 2nd of July, the Tribal Member becomes eligible to participate in the various tax exemptions under the our Tax Agreement and utilize a Tribal Certificate of Sales Tax Exemption on August 1st.
