About 900 Navajo homeowners in urban metros like Salt Lake City as well as rural areas across four states will likely qualify for up to $125K in assistance for things like mortgage payments and home repair assistance.
PHOENIX — Navajo homeowners braved 105-degree Arizona heat Monday as they filled the Phoenix Indian School Visitor Center to capacity in anticipation of the unveiling of a new program targeting urban members of the Navajo Nation.
The homeowner assistance program is part of Nygren's attempts to make good on a commitment to help urban tribal members, who have reported feeling underserved by the Navajo government. Next on the administration's list is buying or constructing a building owned by the Navajo Nation in the metro area to serve urban Navajos.
Although many federally-funded programs are restricted to low-income households, this program will help high- and medium-income Navajo homeowners as well. That difference will address a trend born from a historic lack of investment in Native communities.
