During the annual meeting of the United Native American Housing Association (UNAHA), held March 25 in Denver, CSKT tribal member Bob Gauthier was honored for his lifetime of achievements regarding Native American housing throughout Indian Country.
US Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i) and US Rep. Tom Cole (R-La.) – chairs of the Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittee on Housing, respectively – secured more than $1.34 billion in funding for Native housing programs as part of a six-bill Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations package that was passed by Congress and signed into law last week. The funding is a record increase of $324 million dollars from last year.
American Savings Bank is now approved by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide HUD 184A and FHA 247 loans to the Native Hawaiian community. The loan programs are designed to provide affordable financing options to Native Hawaiians for the purchase and refinance of homes on Department of Hawaiian Home Lands leased land.
