The Lumbee Tribe Highlights Accomplishments for 2022 as Chairman John L. Lowery and the Tribal Council Celebrate a Year of Progress

Pembroke, NC (January 26, 2023) - The Lumbee Tribe assisted more than 20,000 Tribal citizens in 2022. Over the past year, Chairman Lowery also updated several programs to allow services to be available for more families. Four major changes included lowering the interest rate to 1% for new homeowners to purchase or build a home, removal of the Asset Requirement for those seeking housing rehab, which mainly helps our elders, expanded the Down Payment Assistance program to those out of territory, and enhanced the Tribal Enrollment Processes for updating citizens. “As I began my first year as Chairman, we hit the ground running,” said Chairman Lowery. “I am thankful for all our staff's hard work and the efforts of the Tribal Council, to touch the lives of our Lumbee Citizens. Our accomplishments in 2022 laid the foundation for continuous growth and progress in 2023. Our work has just begun!”
