Approve completed applications to prepare a Tribal work plan that must be sent to the BIA Housing every year with this list of those who qualified. After approval from BIA, Aberdeen Area Office the paperwork must be submitted consisting of 1) Program Budget, 2) Project Schedule, 3) Work Plan, 4) Tribal resolution in support of re-contracting the CRST-HIP for each fiscal year for funding and funding is not guaranteed to remain the same from year to year.
