Cash Assistance

In Shishmaref, Alaska, APIA's Cash Assistance program is dedicated to supporting eligible tribal members who are facing challenges in meeting their essential needs for food, clothing, or shelter. We understand the importance of stability in your journey towards self-sufficiency, which is why our program offers vital financial assistance to enrolled members of specific tribes while they engage in work activities outlined in their Individual Self-Sufficiency Plans (ISP). To access support, applicants must provide proof of tribal membership from one of the qualifying tribes and reside in any Alaskan community or any U.S. city. We invite those in need to take the first step towards assistance by visiting our website to download the application.
