Good afternoon!  I called on Monday and spoke with Ms. Alissa regarding your program(s).  I am a Native, 100% service-connected disabled veteran (+3) looking to purchase a home for me and my family somewhere within or close to Cherokee Nation reservation.  Due to lower income guidelines, I don't qualify for most housing assistance provided by Cherokee Nation, which is why I am not bound to live on tribal land.  I have been pre-approved through Veterans United.  However, they no longer have a viable DPA resource for me or other veterans, as Pentagon Fed is no longer accepting applications for their program.  I provided VU with your information as a resource and my loan officer is working to approve REI as an exception.  I am reaching out today to ask how do I start the process to request assistance.  Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
