Metlakatla Housing Authority is a tribal government-based housing authority registered in SAM.gov, located in Metlakatla, Alaska, serving the Metlakatla Indian Community on the Annette Islands Reserve. As a federally recognized Indian tribe's housing organization, the entity focuses on providing housing and community development services for its local indigenous population. The organization is structured to support housing initiatives and community infrastructure improvements through various federal grant mechanisms, specifically targeting affordable housing development and community enhancement programs for low- and moderate-income tribal members.

Their grant awards include Indian Housing Block Grants, which provide funding for housing rehabilitation, development, and essential community services. Notably, they received a significant $1,800,000 Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) in December 2024 focused on affordable housing development, crime prevention, and creating suitable living environments. The organization has also pursued predevelopment planning grants, such as the Water Only WWD grant awarded in June 2025, indicating a comprehensive approach to infrastructure and housing improvements. Their grant portfolios demonstrate a strategic commitment to addressing housing needs, infrastructure development, and community sustainability for the Metlakatla Indian Community, with project completion dates extending through 2028.
