Hoeven Announces $140,000 for Rural Housing Repair and Rehabilitation

WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee and Agriculture Appropriations Committee, today announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has awarded two grants totaling $140,000 for the repair and rehabilitation of low-income housing in rural North Dakota. The Souris Basin Planning Council and the Turtle Mountain Housing authority have each received $70,000, made available through the USDA’s Housing Preservation Grant program.

“Access to affordable housing is a vital part of our communities’ quality of life and long-term growth,” Hoeven said. “These grants will help maintain the housing supply in Pierce County and the Turtle Mountain Reservation, ensuring safe and affordable homes for families in these regions.”
