    The TNHA initiated a project to develop 24 “next generation,” Sustainable Northern Shelter (SNS) affordable single family homes in 6 villages throughout the North Slope region of Alaska. The goal of the project was to address the need for sustainable rural housing for northern climates utilizing a simply constructed home that uses very little water or energy.

    These units have a total budget of $9,821,818. The bulk of those funds come from a Title VI Guaranteed Commercial Bank Loan for $6,672,170, combined with $1,478,468 from State Supplemental Housing Grant Funds. The remaining funds for this project are from an Indian Housing Block Grant. For a complete project summary click here.

    Green Earth, a master-planned community located in York County, South Carolina, was developed with respect for wildlife habitat and wetlands preservation for the Catawba Indian Nation by the ISWA Development Corporation. The 120 units in Phase I include 90 single family rentals (lease with an option to purchase) and 30 multifamily units. Project funding included Indian Health Service water and sewer grants, Rural Housing Grant funds, the IHBG, and a Title VI guaranteed loan. The First Union Title VI loan includes a 2-1/2 year construction period based on the LIBOR floating rate plus margin. Monthly payments with a 20 year amortization begin with the conversion to the permanent fixed rate loan.
