At the Summit, the Organized Village of Kasaan received THRHA’s 2019 Community Partner of the Year Award. “Kasaan’s population has grown by 63% since 2010, largely in part to the work that the Tribe has done to spark economic development,” said Joyce Niven, THRHA’s Interim President & CEO. “As a Tribal Partner, Kasaan has been a model partner.”
The award was given in recognition of Kasaan’s forward thinking planning, innovation, and creativity that they have exhibited in support of community housing. “Kasaan has been able to leverage their NAHASDA (Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act) funding with other creative funding opportunities for the advancement of their Tribal members,” said Joyce.
