Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that three New Mexico pueblos will benefit from a total of $1.14 million in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

"The funding awarded today will help these Indian communities meet the housing needs of many," Bingaman said. 

Funds were awarded through HUD's Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) Indian Housing Block Grant Program. The pueblos can use the funds to implement a number of affordable housing activities. Those activities may include: new construction, acquisition, modernization or rehabilitation of rental or owner-occupied housing.
