Community Services
Senior Nutrition
The Redding Rancheria Title VI Senior Nutrition Program is funded by a grant from the Federal Agency on Aging. The program offers socialization, transportation and free meals in a congregate setting and provides valuable information for services that are available within the community to eligible elders.
We also provide frozen meals every two weeks to elders unable to come to lunch for medical reasons. The clients are Native Americans 55 years or older and their spouses, regardless of heritage. Disabled persons living with an elder are also eligible.
We are currently serving meals in the Redding Rancheria Community Center and in 2015-2016 we served a total of 12,786 meals and provided 19,220 units of supportive services. The supportive services include Tai Chi, exercise, musical performances, crafts, games, health checkups, cultural activities, referral to community programs and transportation services. Our first meal under the grant was served in November of 1999.
Housing Assistance & Self Determination
Funded through the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA) serves the needs of federally recognized Native Americans and Alaskan natives. Through NAHASDA, Redding Rancheria is able to assist multiple low income families with housing. We provide home ownership, counseling services, monetary aid for home rental deposits/rent as well as support in unforeseen emergency housing situations.
Family Caregiver Program
The Older Americans Act provides opportunity to Title VI grantees to plan, develop and implement family caregiver support programs for the benefit of non-paid family members caring for their elders and grandparents caring for their grandchildren, grand nieces and nephews.
The Family Caregiver Support program provides support services for the unpaid family caregiver.The Redding Rancheria currently provides monthly support groups, training, information, referral and respite services for caregivers.
