The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded the Cowlitz Tribal housing authority $1,979,873.
HUD awarded $33,428,515 in Indian Housing Block Grant allocations to 25 tribes in Washington. The awards are part of some $404 million distributed across the country. IHBC still has $250 million to allocate to Native American communities nationwide this year.
The funds are intended to benefit low-income families living on reservations by helping people become home owners, building more housing, or supporting and maintaining existing housing stock.
