Three Tribal Housing Authorities Sue HUD

Three tribal housing authorities are suing the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for illegally reducing the amount of annual block grant funding they are entitled to by law, The Seattle Times reported this week.

In separate lawsuits, the housing authorities of the Yakama Nation, Choctaw Nation and Grindstone Indian Rancheria of Wintun-Wailaki Indians allege that HUD reduced the amount of their block grant funding by improperly requiring that some of their housing units be eliminated from the grant formula.
