Housing Assistance Programs for Tribal Citizens

Modoc Housing Authority was established in 1996 to help end the shortage of safe and sanitary homes. Thanks to the partnership with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development grant programs we’ve been given the opportunity to provide houses to the low-income Native American Community along with other grant programs. The Modoc Housing Authority will continue to focus towards bringing quality affordable rental homes for the tribal community and help work towards an end to overcrowding and homelessness and with other housing needs.
