In the fourth year of its Native American Housing Initiatives (NAHI) Grants Program, fourteen projects will receive $4 million in grants.
“Our 2026 NAHI selections reflect the diversity of our district and the distinct needs of Native American residents,” said Jeff Kuzbel, FHLBank Topeka president and CEO. “The strong interest and high quality of applications continues to affirm that NAHI is a flexible, effective program that makes meaningful impact. Congratulations to the selected tribes on their awards.”
This year’s grants will support several efforts, including renovating older housing, building infrastructure for new housing developments, building tiny homes, supporting housing organizations that help Native American communities and providing down payment assistance to new homeowners.
