The Tohono O’odham Kiki Housing Authority has received $622,637 in federal funding to expand housing support for Native American veterans on the Tohono O’odham Nation, according to a statement from Rep. Adelita Grijalva. The funding will be used to provide rental assistance to about 20 Native American veterans.

Grijalva said the grant is intended to address ongoing housing challenges faced by Native American veterans and to support housing stability on the reservation. She said she plans to continue advocating for federal resources to support tribal communities and Native veterans.

We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government decision-making for everyone who cares about transparency about Native issues. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise. Every gift helps keep the fire burning. A monthly contribution makes the biggest impact.
