Tlingit Haida Regional Housing Authority

Tlingit Haida Regional Housing Authority, a tribally owned firm and tribal government entity headquartered in Juneau, Alaska, is a prime recipient of federal grants supporting affordable housing development, rental assistance administration, energy assistance, and community services for low-income and Native American populations in Southeast Alaska. The organization does not hold federal contracts; all recent awards are grants administered as the prime recipient under HUD, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Internal Revenue Service, and the Denali Commission.

THRHA's grant portfolio centers on housing and community development programs. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office funds the majority of THRHA's work, with 31 awards spanning Indian Housing Block Grants (CFDA 14.867), Housing Choice Voucher administration (CFDA 14.871), and Indian Community Development Block Grants (CFDA 14.862). A representative award includes a $7.5 million Indian Housing Block Grant (CFDA 14.867) granted on August 31, 2023, supporting affordable housing development, infrastructure upgrades, rental assistance vouchers, weatherization, lead paint remediation, and tax preparation services through July 2028. Another example is a $900,000 Indian Community Development Block Grant (CFDA 14.862) granted on December 18, 2024, funding housing construction, rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements, and economic development programs for low-income communities through June 2025. THRHA also administers Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (CFDA 14.871) for very low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities; the most recent award granted on September 22, 2025, runs through September 30, 2026.

HHS Administration for Children and Families funds energy assistance and emergency services. THRHA received $2.452 million under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP, CFDA 93.568) on October 1, 2025, providing energy assistance, weatherization support, and utility payment assistance to eligible low-income households through September 30, 2027. The same grantor also funds LIHEAP Infrastructure Supplement block grants supporting home energy efficiency improvements. The Internal Revenue Service provides Volunteer Income Tax Assistance grants (matching-grant program) to extend tax preparation services to underserved populations including low-income individuals, persons with disabilities, English-language learners, Native Americans, and rural residents. THRHA received tax assistance grants on October 1, 2024, and October 1, 2023, running one-year and one-year terms respectively. The Denali Commission (CFDA 90.100) awarded THRHA $4.047 million on October 1, 2023, for the Kowee Creek Subdivision Road project, a rural transportation infrastructure development initiative completing June 30, 2027. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds homelessness prevention and continuum-of-care programs, with five awards supporting rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, and youth homelessness initiatives. HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded THRHA $4 awards supporting lead-based paint remediation in pre-1960 housing stock through October 2028.

Customer concentration is high and concentrated in HUD and HHS programs. The top five funding offices account for 89% of THRHA's 88 total awards: HUD Public and Indian Housing Office (31 awards), HHS Administration for Children and Families (25 awards), HHS Administration for Children and Families again (13 awards, likely a data aggregation artifact), HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (5 awards), and HUD Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (4 awards). THRHA has obligated $246.2 million across all awards since 2007, with recent activity running steady at eight awards annually in 2023 and 2024, declining to five in 2025 and two in 2026. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. THRHA also holds a minor sub-award presence: it engaged a consultant on a $50,000 sub-award from a larger prime grantee for architecture and engineering services supporting new housing development in Seet Kanax Duteen.
