All accounts are computerized utilizing state of the art accounting software. Modem hookups with the Tribal Finance Department allow program managers instant access and review of expenditures as well as the balance on all accounts, for all program areas, on a real-time basis. With close to 360 units in the inventory, we are able to provide a wide range of options for those in need of housing here on the Menominee Indian Reservation.
