HAKTO Storm Shelter Program
An Indian Housing Block Grant program that pays up to $5,000 per residence for a storm shelter, “designed to provide safe shelter and protection from violent storms, tornados, and unforeseen disasters.” HAKTO’s policy describes the assistance as a grant or forgivable loan paid directly to the vendor or contractor after the board approves the application and the homeowner receives an approval letter; shelters are FEMA-certified. Selected applicants have five days to confirm participation.
