Northern Arapaho Housing Authority

The Northern Arapaho Housing Authority is a tribal government organization registered in SAM.gov since 2001, serving the Northern Arapaho Tribe in Wyoming. As a housing authority and federally recognized Indian tribe, the organization focuses on providing comprehensive housing and community development services for Native American populations. Primarily operating in Lander, Wyoming, the housing authority works to address critical housing, infrastructure, and economic development needs for low-income Native American families through strategic federal grant programs.

The organization has secured multiple federal grants from key agencies, particularly the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office and the USDA Rural Utilities Service. These grants have supported diverse initiatives including Indian Housing Block Grants (IHBG) for affordable housing construction and rehabilitation, Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative grants for workforce development services, and Water and Waste Disposal grants to improve critical infrastructure. Specific grant-funded projects have encompassed new housing construction, existing unit rehabilitation, housing acquisition, infrastructure improvements, employment training, job placement assistance, and water/sanitation facility development. The most recent significant awards include a $3 million IHBG grant in August 2024 for housing activities, a $203,319 Jobs-Plus grant in June 2024 for workforce development, and a $629,000 USDA Rural Utilities Service grant in August 2022 for water and waste disposal facilities, demonstrating the organization's multifaceted approach to supporting Native American community development.
