The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $1.5 million to White Mountain Apache Housing Authority on July 13, 2026, under the Indian Community Development Block Grant Program (CFDA 14.862) to support development of viable American Indian communities through decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities.

White Mountain Apache Housing Authority, a tribally-focused housing authority serving the White Mountain Apache Reservation in Whiteriver, Arizona, is the recipient. The award obligates $1.5 million with a period of performance extending through April 24, 2030. Work is performed in Whiteriver, Arizona.

The ICDBG program provides direct grants to eligible Indian tribes and tribal organizations for community development activities benefiting low-income families. Eligible applicants include Indian tribes, Alaska Native villages, and tribal organizations determined eligible under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. Project periods are based on the implementation schedule submitted by the applicant and approved by HUD, with costs and drawdowns occurring within the identified period of performance. Grants are awarded competitively for single-purpose projects or on a first-come, first-served basis for imminent threat grants addressing qualifying disasters and emergencies.
