Oregon Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley say nine Oregon tribes will receive more than $10.5 million in affordable housing grants under the recently passed American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to help with the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.   Among the disbursements:  the Umatilla Confederated Tribes will receive $1.38 million and the Warm Springs Confederated Tribes $1.06 million.  Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation Board of Trustees Chair Kat Brigham says the grant will go a long way to providing options for the tribes.  Wyden said tribes in Oregon have been rocked by COVID-19, and affordable housing is a must to keep community members safe during this pandemic and beyond.
