Warm Springs Housing Authority is considering affordable rental housing for members working on the reservation.  A larger data collection project is underway already in the form of a housing survey.  They do need more input so if you have a chance to complete the housing survey – please do it.  The new Workforce Survey would better assess the needs of Tribal Employees with regard to available housing, commuting issues, affordability and needs for additional options to attract and keep qualified employees who support Tribal Operations.  CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE SURVEY
