Northern Cheyenne Tribal Housing Authority

A mutul help home in the Busby Community

Back in the July ’09 edition of our newsletter, I reported that the Northern Cheyenne Tribal Housing Authority had received $3.6 million dollars in Stimulus funding from HUD under the ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009). In addition, we received $900,000 under the Indian Community Development Block Grant in 2009. This funding is being used to weatherize up to 29-Old Mutual Help units from projects 12-01 to 12-04. The Stimulus funding under the ICDBG will be used to weatherize the remaining 20-Old Mutual Help units in the projects 12-04 & 12-06.

The Northern Cheyenne Tribal Housing Authority is happy to inform the general public that every community will have street signs. Street signs will soon be installed at the intersection of every street in each Reservation community including subdivisions.  All residents who live in the Lame Deer community for example will no longer need to wonder what their physical address is supposed to be and will no longer need to make one up. Physical addressing is not only necessary but it is now required. Up to now, if a resident of our tribe wants to obtain a drivers license, have a driver’s license renewed, purchase a vehicle or rifle or to apply to have a satellite t-v installed, a physical address is required. This has not changed today. A resident who needs a physical address for any reason will no longer need to guess or make one up. Each residence will now have its own unique address to use when needed.
