The mission of the Ho-Chunk Housing and Community Development Agency is to foster a strong, healthy community of which Ho-Chunk Nation members can be proud – through providing members with quality, affordable housing and programs that help meet the Ho-Chunk Nation’s social, cultural, and community needs.
HHCDA submitted the FY 2022 Annual Plan Review (APR) to HUD- Office of Native American Programs and to the Ho-Chunk Nation Legislature. The plan was sent to each of the Ho-Chunk Nation Branch offices for posting. HHCDA will take and record comments regarding the FY-22 APR.
The APR is a summary of activity of the annual HHCDA Indian Housing Plan. While HHCDA was not able to complete development projects due to covid supply stream issues and contractor shortages, the plan does show that HHCDA was able to sustain delivery of outreach programs. HHCDA Down-payment Assistance grants grew during FY 22.

A total of 600 Ho-Chunk Homeowners were assisted with homeownership costs including mortgage assistance, tax arrearages, homeowners insurance and utility assistance.
