Big news for Osage Nation homeowners: the tribe has launched a brand-new Storm Shelter Assistance Program, offering up to $5,000 per qualifying adult to help cover the cost of a safe room or storm shelter. With Oklahoma’s storm season in full swing, now is the perfect time to apply.
At Sprague’s Backhoe, we’re proud to work with Osage Nation members across the state, providing high-quality storm shelters and a hassle-free installation process. If you’re eligible for this new Osage Nation storm shelter grant, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Who’s Eligible for the Osage Nation Storm Shelter Grant?
This program is open to adult Osage Nation members who own their home, whether they live within or outside the Osage Reservation (which includes all of Osage County, OK).
Applicants can receive up to $5,000 toward the cost of:
-
Above-ground concrete storm shelters (our most popular choice)
Funding is issued on a first-come, first-served basis from a $250,000 revolving fund, so early application is strongly encouraged.
How to Apply for Storm Shelter Assistance
To apply, Osage Nation members must provide:
-
A valid CDIB card and Osage Nation Membership Card
-
Photo ID and Social Security card
-
Proof of homeownership
