Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of Choctaw Nations received a $341,040 Project Grant award dated January 29, 2026, from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Public and Indian Housing Office, under the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program (CFDA 14.871). This award funds tenant-based rental assistance services through Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) that enable very low-income families, elderly individuals, persons with disabilities, and formerly homeless veterans to afford safe and sanitary housing in the private rental market. The award period extends through September 30, 2027, and supports the Housing Authority's administration of voucher assistance within its tribal service jurisdiction in Hugo, Oklahoma.

As a federally recognized tribal housing authority, the Housing Authority of Choctaw Nations uses this funding to deliver core program operations including HAP subsidy payments, administrative functions, occupancy monitoring, and regulatory compliance activities required under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. The award represents continued federal investment in the organization's capacity to expand housing choice and affordability for economically vulnerable populations within Choctaw Nation communities through the HCV program, which consolidates former Section 8 rental voucher and certificate initiatives into a unified, market-driven rental assistance mechanism.
