(KNZA)-- Federal officials say four Native American tribes in northeast Kansas will split $1.7 million in funds for affordable housing.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development announced Wednesday the money for Kansas tribes is part of a $651 million allocation of Indian Housing Block Grants to 636 Native American tribes in the U.S.
The Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas will receive nearly $847,000, The Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska will get just over $426,000, Prairie Band of Potawatomi Nation will receive just over $249,000 and the Sac and Fox Nation will get nearly $213,000.
The department says the funds can be used for housing development, assistance to existing housing, housing management and crime prevention and safety.
