L contains information on RHTSA.
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 requires that at
least 5 targeted counties contain Indian tribal lands. Based upon the
selection criteria, 6 of the 100 targeted counties and 2 of the pooled
counties contain Indian tribal lands. They are as follows:
Choctaw County, Alabama.
Bethel Census Area, Alaska.
Apache County, Arizona.
Navajo County, Arizona.
Rolette County, North Dakota.
Sioux County, North Dakota.
Nome Census Area, Alaska (Pool Funds Only).
Yukon-Koyukuk County, Alaska (Pool Funds Only).
FmHA is particularly interested in receiving loan requests for
tribal organizations in these counties to develop housing.
The following information has been provided to FmHA field offices
on Fiscal Year 1994 RHTSA funds and designated counties eligible for
FmHA housing assistance:
