LOW INCOME HOUSING NEEDS TO SERVICE NATION CITIZENS RESIDING OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTIONAL SERVICE AREA
There are 29,127 Cherokee Nation citizens residing outside of the jurisdiction area within the State of Oklahoma, and 69,169 residing outside the State of Oklahoma.
With funding at current level, there are no plans to serve outside the Cherokee Nation jurisdiction area. However, renovation may be made available for homeowners of
paid-off MH units, which were constructed, by the HACN, but lie outside the jurisdiction.
STATE OF OKLAHOMA CONSOLIDATED PLAN
Data From the Executive Summary Relative to Housing Needs
In 2000 the State population was 3,450,654 individuals, a 1 percent increase from 1990. The state has more than 1 million households whose average size is 2.49 persons. Of the total population, 29 percent are age 19 or younger, while 17.3 percent are age 60 or older. 7.9 percent are Native American, Eskimo or Aleut.
Oklahoma has 575,564 extremely low-income households, who earn 0-30 percent of the State median family income.
STATE OF OKLAHOMA MARKET CONDITIONS
In 2000 Oklahoma had 1,514,400 housing units, a 9 percent increase from 1990. This increase can be largely attributed to migration into the State during the oil boom. Of the 1,342,293 occupied units, 68.4 percent were owner occupied, and 31.6 percent were rental units. The 2000 median home value was $ 70,700 while the median contract rent was $456 per month.
Oklahoma's housing task force identified the poor quality of the housing stock as one of the State's most serious housing problems. The 2000 census reported that more than 10 percent of the housing units were built before 1940.
STATE OF OKLAHOMA AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEEDS (According to the 1990 Census)
Extremely low income large (five or more persons) renter households experience more housing problems and have higher cost burdens than any other household category. Of this group, 78 percent are cost-burdened, paying more than 30 percent of their gross income for housing expenses, and 60 percent are severely cost-burdened, paying more than 50 percent. Comparatively, low- income renter households (those earning 51-80 percent of MFI) experience fewer housing problems, with only 70 percent reporting problems.
Moderate-income households (those earning 81-95 percent of MFI) experience fewer housing problems than the extremely low and low-income households do. Only 14 percent are cost-burdened, paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing, while only 2 percent are severely cost burdened, paying more than 50 percent.
STATE OF OKLAHOMA HOMELESS NEEDS (According to the 1990 Census)
The 1990 Census counted 2,222 homeless people who lived in emergency shelters and another 340 persons who lived on the streets. Additional information indicates that 113 people lived in shelters for domestic violence; 586 lived
17
in homes or halfway houses for substance abuses; 1,678 lived in housing facilities for individuals with mental illness, mental retardation and physical disabilities; 12 lived in shelters for teenagers and expectant mothers; and 1,095 lived in other group homes. Adding these figures to the census numbers results in a homeless population of 6,046 persons. Of this total 14 percent were Native American.
Of the 4,585 homeless beds in Oklahoma, most are in emergency shelters. The primary service providers are 21 Community Action Agencies, which are the first place of contact for many individuals and families seeking emergency or social services. In 1993 these agencies provided 166,377 people with information and helped them access emergency services.
In addition to these agencies, Oklahoma has 38 general emergency shelters, which have the capacity to shelter 2,402 people. The average length of stay is 41 days. Nearly 90 percent of the facilities provide lodging, meals, counseling, and referrals; 56 percent offer rental, utility, and mortgage assistance; and 72 percent provide case management. An estimated 300 additional spaces are needed to adequately shelter all homeless people.
Throughout the State 29 transitional housing facilities provide housing for 464 people. The homeless task force for the Consolidated Plan and the Governor's Advisory Committee on the Homeless determined that insufficient transitional housing is a fundamental problem. Additional transitional housing facilities, especially for various homeless subpopulations, are considered to be the State's highest priority.
STATE OF OKLAHOMA LEAD BASED PAINT
Oklahoma's lead based paint problem is serious. An estimated 937,629 homes were built before 1979, and 72 percent of them contain lead-based paint. The housing is scattered throughout the State and is occupied by both renters and homeowners.
STATE OF OKLAHOMA OTHER HOUSING NEEDS
Persons with special needs - including the elderly, frail elderly, disabled, substance abusers and persons with HIV/AIDS - need appropriate housing. Current programs that address housing issues for these populations are at capacity and have substantial waiting list, threatening a significant number of individuals with homelessness.
Oklahoma's Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services contracts 12 community health centers or private contractors to provide about 192 transitional housing beds. However, participation in these programs is for limited time periods, and discharged clients must obtain whatever permanent housing they can afford. DMHSAS also contracts 29 residential care homes to provide 1,200 residents with room, board, and socialization services.
Seven facilities for persons with chronic mental illness provide shelter space to 103 individuals. Although all shelters offer some degree of case management, the predominate services needs are better case management and more intensive support services. About 3,000 spaces are needed to sufficiently house homeless person with chronic mental illness.
The Oklahoma State Department of Health has determined that there are 1,577 persons with HIV and 910 person with AIDS. The National Commission on AIDS
18
estimates that between one-third and one-half of all person with AIDS are either homeless or threatened with homelessness because of their illness, insufficient income, or insufficient support networks. Three facilities provide space to 32 individuals with HIV/AIDS and an estimated 480 additional spaces are needed to sufficiently serve those persons who need housing immediately.
Another 12 facilities serve 475 chemically dependent persons. Existing facilities have waiting list, and need an estimated 6,000 additional spaces.
STATE OF OKLAHOMA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
Oklahoma's community development problems include insufficient infrastructure facilities and insufficient economic development financing to create and maintain jobs for low and moderate-income persons. Without long term investment in infrastructure facilities and the stimulation of economic opportunities, the State cannot meet the basic needs of its citizens.

The FY 2005 Housing Plan includes an analysis of waiting lists, 1990 and 2000 Census information, and comments received from citizens of the Cherokee Nation.
The Cherokee Nation realizes the need to expand current programs and develop new initiatives in an effort to better serve our Cherokee Nation citizens.
Opportunities for homeownership, rental programs, and housing assistance in crisis situations are some of the greatest needs. Priorities to receive services are the elderly, disabled, those capable of performing self-help activities, and those rural Indian areas where available housing is minimal.
Rehabilitation and renovation of existing homes remain a necessity. Whenever needed, handicap accessibility will be provided.
Resident services and homebuyer/self sufficiency counseling are vital to the success of our participants.

b. the structure, coordination, and means of cooperation between the recipient and any other governmental entities in the development, submission, or implementation of housing plans, including a description of the involvement of private, public, and nonprofit organizations and institutions, and the use of loan guarantees under section 184 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992, and other housing assistance provided by the Federal Government for Indian tribes, including loans, grants, and mortgage insurance;
Please enter the structure/coordination/cooperation with other entities here:
On June 12, 2000 the Nation's Council passed a resolution, which names the Cherokee Nation as the grant recipient and the Housing Authority of the Cherokee Nation as the sub-recipient.
Housing staff met with various social service agencies, employment agencies, housing service agencies, various funding agencies and supportive services in the development of the Five-year plan. These agencies will be utilized in the coordination and delivery of services.
The Nation through the Housing Authority has existing written cooperative agreements and relationships with numerous agencies.
Presently, housing staff provides technical assistance to persons interested in applying for the Section 184 program, and makes referrals to the Nation for application. The Nation has administered the Section 184-assistance program for several years.
The Housing Authority and Nation have identified financial institutions within the jurisdictional area approved for the 184-loan program, and the Nation has created the foreclosure procedures as required in the development of the program.
The Housing Authority has a partnership with the USDA and works with local lenders for the provision of mortgage financing.

c. the manner in which the plan will address the needs identified pursuant to the Statement of Needs Section in paragraph 2;
Please enter the manner in which housing needs will be addressed here:
The plan was developed to address the highest priority needs, previous commitments, and those items required by regulation. After reviewing the cost of operations, comprehensive modernization needs, maintenance of the 1937 units, required insurance, reserve needs, and the continued development of units, limited funds exist for new or model programs. These activities will be studied and evaluated annually and implementation plans developed when the feasibility is favorable. Extensive efforts will go toward leveraging additional resources, including grants and loans for the expansion of housing opportunities and services. Housing needs will be met in accordance with the Nation's housing policies and priorities for serving the greatest number of Cherokees possible, the elderly, disabled, and families capable of self-help, and serving rural Indian areas where available housing is minimal.
The needs identified far outweigh the available resources.
The plan approaches the problem by addressing previous and current commitments for operations of the 1937 units, comprehensive modernization needs, security needs, resident services, and providing assistance to persons currently approved.
The applications, waiting lists, citizen comments and survey data are the best resources available for design and implementation of programs. These items were utilized in the development of the one and five-year plans and in identifying budget needs for FY 2005 Cherokee Housing Plan.
This data will assist with determining the areas for future development, acquisition of land, and infrastructure needs. The data relative to the composition of families to be served and the projected income/revenue from servicing these families will assist in the provision of services based on the ability of the family to pay.
Additionally, this data will serve as an evaluation tool to measure progress.

C Data Source: The Nation utilized the 1990 and 2000 census data (as available), tribal enrollment
records, waiting lists, surveys, meetings, state commerce department data, Tribal CDBG and HIP program needs data to determine the figures represented in this table. Some of the data was very outdated and/or not available. In those cases, percentages were utilized in relation to the available data: percents of total populations, indian populations, and low-income persons. Also, 2004 Formula Data was used.
Under the Statement of Needs, the following definitions apply:
Overcrowded conditions - households with more than 1.01 persons per room, unless stated otherwise within individual program policies.
Units Needing Rehabilitation - activities will be completed in accordance with established rehab standards. Emergency modernization repairs may be specific in nature and will not require the unit to meet Housing Quality Standards.
Rehabilitation of units will be completed according to the adopted standards which allow flexibility by the unit occupant to decline specific renovations or the installation of specific components due to the creation of a financial burden upon installation of these items, and for cultural reasons. These standards still provide that the house is safe; in a physically sound condition, with all systems performing their designed functions; in a livable home environment; an energy efficient building and systems which incorporate energy conservation measures; adequate space and privacy for all intended household members.
Other Exclusions from income - other exclusion from income may be allowed within individual program policies.
