The Council recognizes that financial hardships do not stop at service-area boundaries. We understand that members residing both within and outside the designated service areas may be experiencing similar challenges and financial difficulties.

Unfortunately, because of the funding source and established program guidelines, this assistance program must be limited to eligible households within the designated service areas. We recognize that this may be disappointing to some membership, and we appreciate your understanding.

The Council remains committed to the well-being of the entire Karuk membership and recognizes the importance of supporting our people through difficult times.
