The Hoopa Valley Tribe received $5 million, while the Karuk Tribe was awarded $2 million. “This past year was a stark reminder of just how important access to safe, stable housing is especially in Tribal communities disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Secretary Marcia L. Fudge. “The funding HUD is awarding today will support much needed affordable housing investments in Indian Country.”
