The Pascua Yaqui Tribe, Tohono O’odham Ki:Ki Association, and White Mountain Apache Housing Authority received a total of $2,450,000 in Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grants for a combined 107 new homes in their tribal communities.
The Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines awarded the tribal developments through the 2020 Competitive Affordable Housing Program:
- Pascua Yaqui Homes 7 – $1,000,000
- TOKA Homes 4 – $700,000
- WMAHA 8 – $750,000
The AHP is a competitive program through the Federal Home Loan Bank system that awards grants and subsidized loans to support affordable rental housing and homeownership opportunities. Housing authorities use the extra subsidy to lower or eliminate the need for tribal funding in the developments.
We are thrilled our clients will get an extra boost for their housing developments and applaud the Federal Home Loan Bank system for recognizing the great need in Indian Country. Read more about the developments awarded funds from the FHLB of Des Moines here.
Travois has raised more than $31.8 million in AHP funds through 75 successful applications, assisting 40 American Indian tribes with grant funding for new and rehabilitated homes.
