Karuk Tribe of California Builds Its First LIHTC Project
Karuk Homes 1, an affordable 30-unit housing development of single-family homes that opened in 2017, is the first project by Northern California's Karuk Tribe to receive funding via the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. The Karuk Tribe was also one of the first Native American tribes in the state to receive a LIHTC award via a set-aside established by the Native American Apportionment Pilot. The $11.4 million development was built in an existing Yreka subdivision and contains a mix of three-, four-, and five-bedroom layouts specifically designed for multigenerational families.
