Native American Housing: GAO Survey of Tribal Housing Officials (GAO-10-373SP, February 2010), an E-supplement to GAO-10-326
Read the full report: Native American Housing: Tribes Generally View Block Grant Program as Effective, but Tracking of Infrastructure Plans and Investments Needs Improvement (GAO-10-326, February 2010)
This document presents the results of GAO�s survey of tribal and tribally designated housing entity (TDHE)
officials who were the recipients of Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination (NAHASDA)
Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) funds in fiscal year 2008. In order to learn about these officials�
experiences with and perspectives on the program, we conducted a Web-based survey of all recipients of
these grants. Of the 351 tribal and TDHE grantees in the nation that used these funds, we obtained a
66 percent response rate. Respondents differed from nonrespondents by grant amount sizes. We obtained
a higher percentage of responses from entities with larger grant amounts ($250,000 or more) compared to
those with smaller grant amounts (less than $250,000). Respondents to the survey represented about
80 percent of the IHBG funds that were awarded in fiscal year 2008. In this e-supplement we present
the survey results regarding responses related to how they used IHBG funds to address their affordable
housing needs, other sources of funding they used in combination with the IHBG program, some of the
experiences they had with leveraging, and program reporting issues.
