Hoeven Announces $4.3 Million Housing Block Grant For Standing Rock Housing Authority
BISMARCK, N.D. - Gov. John Hoeven today announced that the Standing Rock Housing Authority has been approved for a $4.3 million grant by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
“Projects funded by this grant will greatly improve conditions for those living on the Standing Rock Reservation,” said Hoeven. “We are grateful to HUD for making this grant possible.”
The grant was approved under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA). Grant funds can be used for a variety of eligible affordable housing activities including modernization and operating assistance for low-income housing, new construction, acquisition or rehabilitation of rental or owner-occupied housing, housing services, housing management or crime prevention and safety activities.
The NAHASDA Act of 1996 reorganized the system of housing assistance provided to Native Americans through the Department of Housing and Urban Development by eliminating several separate programs of assistance and replacing them with a block grant program.
