Project Grant 25HX4005840

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $152,760 to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Housing Authority on January 29, 2026, under the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program (CFDA 14.871). The award funds the administration and delivery of tenant-based rental assistance vouchers to very low-income families, elderly individuals, and disabled persons within the authority's service area in Clinton, Oklahoma. Through this project grant, the Housing Authority provides Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) to subsidize private market rental costs for economically vulnerable populations, enabling beneficiaries to access safe and sanitary housing while maintaining housing choice and affordability.

The award supports the Housing Authority's operational capacity to manage the Housing Choice Voucher program through September 30, 2027, including administrative functions necessary for program oversight, occupancy monitoring, and regulatory compliance. As a tribally-governed public housing agency, the Cheyenne and Arapaho Housing Authority leverages this federal funding to serve Native American communities and low-income families throughout its jurisdiction, consistent with the Section 8 program's broader objective of consolidating rental assistance mechanisms into a single market-driven program that expands housing opportunities for low-income populations.
