Akwesasne Housing Authority awarded $600K for housing and community development

Posted

AKWESASNE – The Akwesasne Housing Authority that serves the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe has been awarded more than $600,000 for Affordable Housing and Community Development.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) award of $603,650 to the Akwesasne Housing Authority was one of 83 awards totaling $147 million for affordable housing and community development projects that primarily benefit people with low and moderate incomes in American Indian and Alaska Native communities.

In New York, HUD awarded $603,650 to the Akwesasne Housing Authority in Hogansburg to improve 22 home sites to render them suitable and available for new housing. It provides services and guidance on homeownership options, rental opportunities, and counseling and training relevant to housing programs benefiting eligible families.

The AHA is highly involved in community events and is partnering with other tribal agencies to plan and coordinate community facilities and infrastructure projects.
