Abstract: The IHS goal is to raise the health status of the American Indian and Alaska Native people to the highest possible level by providing comprehensive health care and preventive health services. To support the IHS mission, the SFCP provides technical and financial assistance to American Indian Tribes and Alaska Native villages for cooperative development and continued operation of safe water, wastewater, and solid waste systems and related support facilities. The IHS Office of Environmental Health and Engineering(OEHE), Sanitation Facilities Construction Branch (SFCB), "Customer Satisfaction Surveys", will provide the information needed to complete these goals. With the information collected from tribal homeowners, Tribal leaders, and Tribal operation and maintenance operators, the SFCP will make improvements that will result in improved quality of services.
