General Assistance’s purpose is to provide assistance to any single, non-custodial individual Tribal Member who lacks adequate resources to meet their basic life’s necessities which can include, but not limited to shelter, heat, utilities, food and medical needs. Applicants must be enrolled in a federally recognized tribe, show that they do not have sufficient resources to meet the essential need items as defined by the BIA’s standards of assistance, and reside within the boundaries of the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation at all times.
