Maine tribes receive $1.2M in community development grants
By Staff
The Aroostook Band of Micmacs and the Penobscot Indian Nation have each received $600,000 through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Indian Community Development Block Grant Program.
The program helps grant recipients to obtain decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities.
“Indian Community Development Block Grants provide important assistance to tribal communities working to maintain and improve safe living environments,” U.S. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Angus King, I-Maine, said in a joint statement. “We welcome these investments in Maine’s tribal communities, which will help provide affordable housing for members of Maine’s tribes.”
