U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Press Release
On Friday, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner announced more than $9 million in Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) funding for eligible Native American Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) in New York to carry out affordable housing activities in Indian Country. Nationally, HUD awarded $1.1 billion in IHBG funding.
“From day one, HUD has been engaged on alleviating affordable housing challenges facing urban, rural and Tribal communities,” Turner said. “Today’s announcement reaffirms our commitment to serve Tribal communities while working towards meeting Indian Country’s housing needs. HUD has a strong partnership with Tribal nations across New York, and I look forward to collaborating directly with Tribal leaders to expand housing opportunities and remove burdensome regulatory barriers that impede progress.”
The IHBG program is a formula grant that provides a range of affordable housing activities in Tribal communities. Eligible activities include housing development, operation and modernization of existing housing, housing services to eligible families and individuals, crime prevention and safety, and model activities. A full list of the IHBG awards can be found here.
