The federal Project Grant award of $1,100,000 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Indian Housing Block Grants (IHBG) program, awarded on January 24, 2025, supports the Venetie Village Council (VVC) in Venetie, Alaska. Through this grant, VVC will deliver a range of affordable housing activities primarily benefiting low-income Native American families, including new housing construction, rehabilitation of existing units, housing acquisition, and infrastructure improvements. The IHBG program, authorized under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996, enables tribal governments and housing entities to develop, maintain, and operate affordable housing in safe environments. This award to VVC, a federally recognized tribal government and housing authority, will enhance access to safe and suitable housing in the Venetie community through various housing-related initiatives over the project period concluding on November 13, 2029.
