Project Description

The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs are conducting a Housing Study and Needs Assessment to collect up-to-date, accurate information about the characteristics, needs, and priorities of the households and communities served by the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Tribal leadership will use this data to inform strategic planning and prioritize community needs and concerns in the development and delivery of programs and services.

The project includes 4 different surveys which are described in more detail below. Since the information gathered will be kept confidential and will not identify any specific individuals or households, this information will support community-level decision-making as opposed to the delivery of specific services or benefits at the household level.

Household Survey

  1. A Household Survey for randomly selected households on the Reservation

Additional Surveys

  1. An Off-Reservation Survey for CTWS members living off the Reservation

  1. A Workforce Survey for anyone employed on the Reservation

  2. A Youth Survey for native and non-native youth living on the Reservation
