RAMP PROJECT SLIDING FEE SCALE APPLICATION

CILNM believes that all people should have access to their homes and communities. Based upon this belief we have developed a sliding fee scale for private parties in need. The sliding fee scale is not available for organizations. The funds received into this program from the sliding fee scale will be put back into the program to pay for the repair, upgrade and purchase of ramps, which will allow others to participate in the program.  CILNM Mesabi Mall, Suite 11 Hibbing, MN 55746 V/TTY (218) 262-6675 FAX (218) 262-6677 Link To Ramp Application ~ Online Submission Form
