NAHASDA Home Repair Program

Repair projects already underway for Juneau and Angoon.

At Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority, providing affordable housing opportunities and solutions, one family at a time is our mission. The rehabilitation program is one of many programs administered under the NAHASDA (Native Americana Housing and Self-Determination Act) funding. This funding is a direct allocation from the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) that the housing authority submits on behalf of our partners-federally recognized Tribes. Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority adminsters these funds and programs for those tribes that have designated T-HRHA as their Tribally Designated Housing Entity (TDHE). The programs are a direct reflection of the housing needs and concerns targeted by each individual tribe and their community. The Home Rehabilitation or Repair program serves to perform repairs, upgrades, rennovations and improvement to the homes of tribal members where there are health and safety, emergency, and energy efficiency issues present.
