Choctaw Housing Authority

The Choctaw Housing Authority is a Tribal Government entity registered in SAM.gov since 2005, located in Philadelphia, Mississippi, and focused on providing housing and community development services for the Choctaw community. As a housing authority specifically serving the Choctaw Tribe, the organization is dedicated to supporting public housing residents through various federal grant-funded programs that aim to improve economic opportunities and living conditions.

Through multiple federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, the Choctaw Housing Authority has consistently secured project and formula grants to support comprehensive community development initiatives. The organization's grant portfolio includes Indian Community Development Block Grants (ICDBG), which likely support infrastructure and housing improvements, Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services (ROSS) grants for service coordination, and a recent Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative grant totaling $140,662. This most recent grant specifically focuses on workforce development, providing work readiness training, job placement assistance, educational advancement, technology skills training, and financial literacy education for public housing residents. The grants demonstrate a strategic approach to addressing poverty and economic challenges within the Choctaw community by offering targeted interventions that promote employment, skill development, and economic self-sufficiency through various federal funding mechanisms.
