Pride in Homeownership Program
The pride in homeownership program is an incentive program to recognize and reward participants in the homeowners programs for their efforts in maintaining their home and yard.  The contest runs from May through August.  The Chickasaw Nation is divided into three regions for the contest.  Participants enter the contest by contacting a housing representative.  Each month two winners from each region receive a free month's rent as the "Legislator's Award".  In addition, a winner is chosen each month from the recipients of the "Legislator's Award" to receive the "Lt. Governor's Award," which is a $50 gift certificate.  At the conclusion of the contest, a grand prize winner is chosen from the recipients of the "Lt. Governor's Award" to receive the "Governor's Award," which is a $250 gift certificate.  Contact housing management services at 421-8800 for more information.
