OVK Begins Construction on Three Duplex Units for Tribal Housing
Construction began this month on three new Duplex rental units for OVK. This project has been in planning phases for about eleven years, and it is finally coming into fruition! This is a joint project between OVK and the Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority (THRHA) and Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC). THRHA is funding the project as OVK's Tribally Designated Housing Authority (TDHE) under guidelines of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); and ANTHC is engineering and installing the water and sewer lines for the commuity expansion project. This is a symbol of Kasaan's development and growth, which encompasses economic development, community building, Tribal capacity building, and a dedication to bringing our people back home.

Current Housing Improvement
The Organized Village of Kasaan is currently working with THRHA on developing a methodology to inventory, monitor, and repair current Tribal housing units. These are units that are owned by Tribal Members, and also by the Tribe. The long range plan is to have a system in place that ensures that housing in Kasaan is safe, economical, and healthy.
