WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that three New Mexico pueblos will benefit from a total of $1.14 million in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Funds were awarded through HUD's Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) Indian Housing Block Grant Program. The pueblos can use the funds to implement a number of affordable housing activities. Those activities may include: new construction, acquisition, modernization or rehabilitation of rental or owner-occupied housing.
