WASHINGTON - Today, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced more than $652 million in Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) formula funding for eligible Native American Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) to carry out affordable housing activities in tribal communities.

"The Indian Housing Block Grant program supports the commitment of Tribes across the country to their communities through funding affordable housing and housing activities," said HUD Acting Secretary Matthew E. Ammon. "The U.S. government has a responsibility to carry out trust obligations to Indian tribes, and with this funding, HUD is acting to meet these obligations."
