YAKIMA, Wash. -- The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development today announced it was awarding the Yakama Nation Housing Authority a $6.3 million grant.
The funding is part of $33.4 million being dispersed to 25 tribes in the state, and roughly $404 million being distributed nationwide, the federal department announced in a news release.
The money is to benefit low-income families living on Indian reservations and the amounts are based on need and number of housing units managed by tribes, the release said.
Yakama Nation Housing Authority Executive Director Jim Berg wasn’t immediately available for comment.
