Indian housing block grants

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $3,000,000 Indian Housing Block Grants (IHBG) Project Grant to the Housing Authority of the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska on August 14, 2024. This grant, authorized under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA), will support the development and improvement of affordable housing for low-income Native American families within the Iowa Tribe's service area in Kansas and Nebraska. The funding will enable the housing authority to construct new residential units, rehabilitate existing structures, and develop critical infrastructure to address housing challenges like overcrowding and substandard living conditions. The organization has a history of successfully securing and implementing IHBG and other federal grants that focus on comprehensive community development and increasing access to quality, affordable housing for tribal communities.
