BIA General Assistance Program

The BIA General Assistance Program in Prudhoe Bay, AK, is dedicated to helping eligible families meet their essential needs, including food, clothing, shelter, and utilities. Rooted in the cherished Iñupiat values of compassion, respect, and community, this program works closely with participants to empower them towards self-sufficiency through the creation of Individual Self-Sufficiency Plans. Participants are encouraged to pursue employment actively, with ongoing support from ASNA staff to help navigate their job search efforts. Eligibility for assistance is based on tribal enrollment, income, resources, and residency criteria, ensuring that our services are focused and impactful. We invite interested families to reach out to learn more about the application process and how we can support their journey towards stability and independence.
