Housing Application FAQs

The Basics

Completing the Housing Application is the first step in the process of receiving housing assistance, regardless of the program you are interested in. In this form, the applicant provides information regarding household income and composition, previous assistance, current living arrangements, tribal enrollment details, etc.

With this information, the Housing Department evaluates the eligibility of each applicant. After the application is reviewed and the applicant is eligible, it will be added to the Housing Waiting List. Each applicant is scored to be assigned priority points, which will determine who is assisted first in case of multiple applicants or limited funding. Louden staff will contact you if you are found eligible to move forward with your request.

Be aware that the submission of the application doesn’t guarantee that an applicant is eligible. However, you don’t need to submit multiple applications for different programs.

You can find the Housing Application here. We are making an effort to make it simple and self-descriptive, but the Louden staff will be happy to assist in completing it.
