The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $1.5 million to the Comanche Nation Housing Authority under the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) Program (CFDA 14.862) on July 14, 2026. This project grant, with a completion date of April 24, 2031, supports community development initiatives for the Comanche Nation in Lawton, Oklahoma. The ICDBG program provides direct grants to eligible Indian tribes and Alaska Native communities to develop viable communities through decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities.
The Comanche Nation Housing Authority will utilize these funds to support housing and community development activities consistent with the program's eligible uses, which include housing construction and rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements, public facilities, and housing assistance for low-income Native American families. As the primary housing provider for the Comanche Nation, the organization has a documented history of successfully implementing federal housing grants and will continue its mission of addressing critical housing needs and community infrastructure for the Comanche Nation membership.
