Indigenous Californians Receiving $30 Million in Grants

 Last week, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla announced that Californians of native descent will receive 30 million dollars in grants for affordable housing.   This grant is a part of the Historic American Rescue Plan. Native Americans, as well as most people have had a hard time during this pandemic. Luvina Beckley, CEO of MHM & Associates states, “I am glad to see funds advancing inclusion and equity in housing. We often overlook those ways in which to directly reach those most in need.”


The funds for the grant will be dispersed between different Native reserves throughout California. Some of these reserves include: Graton Rancheria Federated Indians, Enterprise Rancheria of Maidu Indians, Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians, Yurok Tribe, San Pasqual Band of Diegueno Mission Indians.  Additional grants advancing inclusion and equity are highlighted by MHM & Associates in order to keep grant funders aware of a good way forward.
