Housing & Roads

Housing: NVE has a variety of housing programs designed to assist low-income tribal members. NVE can assist with homebuyer counseling, homeownership, and referral services. NVE is currently establishing a transitional housing program.

A Housing Emergency is an event that may cause an eligible tribal member to become homeless, live in an unsafe, over crowded or hazardous environment, some utilities in cases of shut-off notification, or need assistance for emergency repairs.

Applicant must exhaust all other resources in the community before requesting assistance from NVE. The applicant is limited to one request for assistance every three years. You must fill out an application documenting the need and the amount requested, up to a limit of $700.00. All applicants receiving emergency funds are required under NASDA rules to return a copy of their receipts into the NVE office in Eklutna Village.

Roads Program: Through BIA "Indian Reservation Roads" Program, NVE has begun the Long Range Transportation Plan which will include maps and a narrative description resulting from a series of planning meetings with the Traditional Tribal Council of NVE and the Board of Directors of Eklutna, Inc., (as well as interested Tribal Members and Shareholders of the Corporation). The Plan will include research on current and future land uses within the planning area. This Plan will look at residential, economic, industrial, recreational, commercial and other such uses of the land within the planning area. Foremost, it will look at ways for the Native people of the Tribe to maintain their traditional way of life while living in an urban environment. Native Village of Eklutna Traditional Tribal Council hereby prioritizes its road inventory consistent with Tribal Member designation and includes the routes not excluding "Indian Chief Road" a road beginning at a point connecting with "Eklutna Village Road", heading northwest and intersecting again with "Eklutna Village Road" at its point of ending.
