Summary

The secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development announced more than $1.1 billion in Indian Housing Block Grant funding to nearly 600 tribal communities and marked the 30th anniversary of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act, highlighting the law's role in enabling tribal self-determination and housing development.

The secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that HUD will allocate more than $1,100,000,000 in Indian Housing Block Grant funding to nearly 600 tribal communities across the nation.

The announcement coincided with the 30th anniversary of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA). The secretary said NAHASDA "has reshaped how the federal government partners with tribal communities to address their housing needs" by recognizing tribal sovereignty and providing flexible block grants that let tribes set local priorities.

The statement noted NAHASDA's long-term impact, saying the law has helped tribes build, acquire and rehabilitate more than 160,000 homes. "These homes are more than bricks and mortar," the secretary said, adding that the units are places "where families thrive, where traditions are honored, and where communities grow stronger." The secretary said the administration aims to continue supporting culturally grounded, safe and affordable housing for Native families.

HUD directed interested parties to its anniversary communications toolkit at hud.gov/nahasda30 for more information and outreach materials. The secretary closed by saying they look forward to visiting tribal communities this year to see NAHASDA projects in action.

No formal vote, motion, or implementation schedule for distributions was announced in the statement; the funding allocation itself was presented as an administrative announcement and a celebratory milestone.
