Indian housing block grants

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Public and Indian Housing Office, awarded a $1,315,446 Project Grant under the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) program (CFDA 14.862) to the Northern Ponca Housing Authority. The grant, awarded on December 6, 2024, will support the development of affordable housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income Native American individuals and families in Norfolk, Nebraska. The funding will enable the Northern Ponca Housing Authority, a tribally designated housing entity, to construct and rehabilitate housing units, improve infrastructure, and deliver supportive services to promote economic self-sufficiency within the local tribal community. The ICDBG program provides grants to eligible American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and organizations to address critical community development needs, with a focus on creating decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities.
