HUD awards nearly $4M to Wind River tribes

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has given nearly $4 million to Wind River Reservation tribes to help improve housing conditions. It's reported that the HUD grant provided the Eastern Shoshone Housing Authority with more than $1.5 million and the Northern Arapaho Housing Authority with more than $2 million. Danielle Taylor, executive director of the Eastern Shoshone Housing Authority, says the money will help renovate old homes, build new homes and help tribal members get access to affordable housing. The grant can also be used for crime prevention and safety and to model activities to provide creative approaches to solve affordable housing problems.
