program each applicant is eligible for. After determination of eligibility,
the applicant will be placed on a waiting list. Applicant is expected
to notify the Housing Placement office of any changes in the information
provided on his or her application. Resident Services include training
on Housing and Urban Development services and the Choctaw Tribal
Leasing and Ordinances services. Information on care and maintenance
of the home or rental property, insurance, accounts receivable,
counseling, money management and budgeting is also offered to interested
persons.
Referral services through the Choctaw, Neshoba County and Mississippi
