Summary

Standing Rock Housing Authority received a $260,256 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program (CFDA 14.871) for the period ending September 30, 2026, with an award date of September 22, 2025. Through this funding, Standing Rock Housing Authority administers rental assistance voucher services to very low-income families, elderly individuals, and disabled persons within the Standing Rock tribal community in Fort Yates, North Dakota. The Authority provides core services including processing rental assistance applications, determining tenant eligibility for housing vouchers, issuing Housing Choice Vouchers, and making direct rental assistance payments to private landlords on behalf of eligible households.

This award supports the Authority's ongoing operations of the Housing Choice Voucher program, which enables economically vulnerable tribal members to afford safe, sanitary housing in the private rental market. The funding covers Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) renewal and administrative fees necessary to sustain the program's delivery of tenant-based rental assistance. As a federally recognized tribal housing authority, Standing Rock has demonstrated sustained commitment to this federal program through consecutive annual Section 8 awards, ensuring stable rental assistance services to its community members throughout the grant performance period.
