Arizona Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly announced more than $134.6 million in housing grants for tribal communities across Arizona, awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including almost $600,000 for the Ak-Chin Indian Community.
“All Arizonans deserve access to safe housing. We’re proud to help secure today’s funding, which will help build thousands of affordable homes for tribal communities across our state,” Sinema said in a news release.
“Our successful efforts to secure these grants will mean that Arizona’s tribal communities will see thousands of affordable housing units built in their communities. I’ll continue working in the Senate on solutions that make safe and affordable housing more accessible for hardworking families,” Kelly said.
