Solar on the way for some Eastern Shoshone homes thanks to federal fundingThe Eastern Shoshone Housing Authority was recently awarded almost $8 million in funding through the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Tribal Electrification Program. It aims to build up green electricity infrastructure around the country and will be used to purchase, assemble and install solar for homes on the Wind River Reservation.

Current Accomplishments Future Goals

Contributing research, consultation and grant writing
services to the Eastern Shoshone Housing Authority our nonprofit helped with their submissions to both competitive rounds for a Department of Interior residential solar grant. We feel excited and confident that the hard work will ultimately be rewarded with proposal acceptance & grant funding.

In collaboration with interested tribal organizations we intend to continue to identify and assist with federal applications for grants offering energy efficiency and electrification opportunities for the benefit of tribal residents.

Success!

ESHA has been awarded a $7,375,000 grant for the implementation stage of our project. The intent is to start installations as soon as weather permits in 2025!!!

Planning Grant activities coming this month.

ESHA has been awarded a $1 million planning grant for the residential solar project. These funds will ensure appropriate preparation has occurred prior to project implementation. We look forward to consulting with the Department of Interior technical assistance team for this project, Heartland Consulting (http://www.heartlandconsulting.com) and fully embrace the opportunity this project represents.
