| NAHASDA Community Grant Program |
 |
|
|
 |
| The Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA) reorganized the system of housing assistance provided to Native Americans through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development by eliminating several separate programs of assistance and replacing them with the Indian Housing Block Grant. In 2000, NAHASDA added Title VIII-Housing Assistance for Native Hawaiians. The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) receives the housing block grant funds and administers those funds through the NAHASDA Community Grant Program. In fiscal year 2003, $9.6 million in housing block grant funds were available to help DHHL fund affordable housing activities.

| NAHASDA Success Story - Waimanalo Hawaiian Homes Association |
|
|
|
|
| One of the 2004 NAHASDA Community Grant Awardees is the Waimanalo Hawaiian Homes Association (WHHA). WHAA was established shortly after the first Homesteaders settled in Waimanalo in 1926, and although the community association has changed throughout the years, WHHA’s commitment has remained steadfast to the continuous improvement of the health, welfare and education of those residing in the Waimanalo community. |
