(KLZA)--The Housing Authority of the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska will break ground Wednesday, April 15 on a new housing development designed to ease a critical housing shortage on the reservation.
The day’s events begin with a welcome reception at 11 a.m., followed by a noon luncheon at the George Ogden Building. The official groundbreaking ceremony is set for 1:30 p.m. at the construction site, about a half-mile northeast of Casino White Cloud.
The project—known as the Campbell Housing Complex—will feature modern, state-of-the-art homes aimed at meeting growing demand for affordable housing among tribal members.
In January 2025, the Housing Authority announced it had secured nearly five million dollars in grant funding for the development. The project will include 18 housing units, with three to four offered at market rate and 15 reserved for low-to-moderate-income residents. Plans call for six elderly duplexes and six single-family homes.
Officials say the project is part of a broader effort to expand housing access. Since June 2024, the Housing Authority has secured a total of 8.5 million dollars in grant funding to address ongoing housing needs on the reservation.
