The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe is receiving the state's second-highest share of a $6 million grant for low-income-housing initiatives. This funding will go toward the community's past issues with the lack of availability of affordable housing. The grant is allowed to be used for housing development, housing management services, and any other approaches to solving the community's housing issues.

Seneca Nation received the highest allocation from HUD at $2.5 million, whereas the Onondaga Nation, Tuscarora Nation, and the Tonawanda band received $50,000 each.
