(KNZA)--Several local northeast Kansas Indian tribes have been awarded grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for affordable housing.
The grants, announced this week by HUD Secretary Scott Turner, are part of a larger allocation of funds for affordable housing in Great Plains Tribal Communities, totaling nearly $14 million.
Locally, the Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas has been awarded $1,064,790, the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska will receive $608,849; Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation will receive $484,300 and the Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri has been awarded $270,731.
The funding comes from the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program, a formula grant that supports affordable housing activities in tribal communities.
