HUD expands Indian housing loans off-reservation
Thursday, March 31, 2005

The Department of Housing and Urban Development is expanding the Section 184 Indian home loan program to areas off the reservation.

Arizona became the third state approved for off-reservation loan guarantees. Florida and Wisconsin have already qualified under a program where tribes can show that its members have lived throughout the state.

More than $300 million in Section 184 guarantees will be available this year, according to HUD.
