Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall today announced that six New Mexico pueblos will share more than $11 million in grant funding to improve housing. The funding comes through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

"This major investment in Indian Country will help ensure there is ample affordable, quality housing for New Mexicans," Bingaman said.

"Improving the living conditions and quality of housing in our native communities will create desperately needed jobs on tribal lands and help revitalize these areas as a whole," said Udall.
