HUD Secretary Scott Turner Announces Newly Available Funds to Expand the Tribal HUD-VASH Program

ONEIDA, Wis. – U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner today announced $2.2 million in new available funding under the Tribal HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program. This program delivers critical rental assistance for Native American veterans who are – or who are risk of becoming – homeless in Tribal communities across the nation. Secretary Turner made the announcement after touring the Oneida Tribe reservation with Congressman Tony Wied (R-WI-08) and visiting with Oneida Tribe leadership.

This expansion announcement is the result of approximately $2.2 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 funds that were not exhausted and are now available for grants to support the expansion of rental assistance for Native American Veterans who qualify. HUD invites Tribes and Tribal Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) to apply for this expansion funding here...
