WW sect 306C WWD NAT american grants-domestic water only

The Pit River Tribal Housing Board received a $1,051,426.19 Project Grant award on September 25, 2025, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service under the Water and Waste Facility Loans and Grants to Alleviate Health Risks for Colonias and Tribal Lands program (CFDA 10.770). The award funds water and waste infrastructure improvements serving the Pit River Tribal community in Burney, California, with a project completion date of September 25, 2027. The grant specifically supports the development and enhancement of domestic water treatment facilities, water distribution systems, and waste disposal infrastructure to ensure access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation for the tribal population.

This award is consistent with the program's mission to address significant health risks in low-income rural areas, particularly tribal lands, where residents lack reliable access to safe water and waste disposal services. The project represents a discrete infrastructure investment within a program portfolio that has obligated approximately $1.04 billion across 783 total awards since 2001, with recent funding activity focused on water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, and combined water-and-waste infrastructure projects serving Native American communities and low-income border populations.
