The grants were awarded under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program.
“These grants will expand affordable housing on Indian reservations and make these communities safer,” Larsen said. “One of my top priorities is making sure we are developing and enhancing local initiatives that improve affordable housing.”
