These flexible grants give Tribal and Rural communities more local control to address their own unique planning and building challenges…
ALT “Too often, lack of sufficient infrastructure is a financial roadblock to building housing—particularly for tribal communities and rural areas. These awards show the state’s coordinated commitment to ensuring no community is left behind because of lack of infrastructure. I am proud of the partnership we’ve built with tribal and rural communities so we can tailor our programs to meet their needs and together build more climate-smart homes and communities.” HCD Director Gustavo Velasquez

There's a lot to consider when building accessible housing. Does the design foster community? Does it take into account a broad range of disabilities? What accessibility modifications might be necessary later that could be made from the start? bit.ly/3JgjpJA
