Johnathan Hiratsuka is the program manager for the NAHASDA program (Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act.) This program is federally funded through HUD Housing. The goal of NAHASDA is to bring the substandard housing of low income tribal members up to adopted standards of today.
Johnathan works with a crew and foreman to do this "modernizing." They work on upgrading doors, siding, windows, porches/walk-ways and the roofing of houses that are approved. To be approved to have your house worked on you must complete a housing application and meet the income standards of the program. Applications can be picked up at the Curyung Tribal Council from the front office or from Johnathan.
