2017 Indian Housing Plan (IHP)
Under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determi-
nation Act of 1996 (NAHASDA), the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) will provide grants to Indian Tribes/Indian
Housing Authorities for the development and operation of low-income
housing in Indian areas. Grants are made to eligible recipients under
the Indian Housing Block Grant Program. To be eligible for the grants,
respondents must submit an Indian Housing Plan that meets the mini-
mum requirements of the Act, and also submit an Annual Performance
Report to HUD, and maintain records for HUD monitoring. The Grand
Ronde Housing Department (GRHD) has received multiple grants
under this program that were active during 2016.
Comments on the Indian Housing Plan are welcome and copies of this
report can be obtained at the GRHD office or by calling 503-879-2401
or 1-800-422-0232, ext. 2401.
Comments must be submitted in writing to GRHD no later than 5
p.m. Friday, Oct. 7, 2016. All comments will be incorporated into the
final report submitted to HUD.
