Lac Courte Oreilles Housing Authority

Lac Courte Oreilles Housing Authority (Lcoha) is a tribally owned firm and tribal government entity located in Hayward, Wisconsin, serving the local Native American community. Registered in SAM.gov since 2005, the organization specializes in providing affordable housing solutions and community development services primarily for Native American populations. As a housing authority with a focus on public and Indian housing, Lcoha works extensively with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to develop and maintain housing infrastructure and support low-income families within their community.

Through federal grant awards, Lcoha has consistently secured funding under specific HUD programs, including the Indian Housing Block Grants (IHBG) and Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG). Their most recent significant award is a $3,000,000 federal Project Grant (Award ID: 24ICWI34180) scheduled from September 2024 to August 2029, which will support affordable housing activities such as new housing construction, rehabilitation of existing units, housing acquisition, and infrastructure improvements. Previous grants, such as the 21AH5534180 Formula Grant and 20BV5534180 Project Grant, demonstrate the organization's ongoing commitment to developing safe, affordable housing environments for Native American families. The grants primarily focus on housing-related community development initiatives, enabling Lcoha to address critical housing needs through targeted investments and strategic development programs within their tribal community.
