The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded more than $1 billion in housing grants to American Indian tribes, including nearly $30 million for tribes in North Dakota, according to KFYR-TV. The funding comes through the Indian Housing Block Grant program, which supports affordable housing development, modernization and related services.
North Dakota recipients include the Spirit Lake Tribe with about $4.1 million, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe with about $7.5 million, the Three Affiliated Tribes of Fort Berthold with about $5.1 million and the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians with about $12.9 million. The agency states the program is the largest source of federal housing assistance for tribal communities.
