Pit River Housing — The Long Return

Two federal awards pay for 16 planned homes; the records do not yet show the full delivery picture

HUD awarded $2,977,207 for nine planned homes and $4,916,331 for seven planned homes. Housing reports the homes at Montgomery Creek, XL and Tamarack, one XL home occupied in June 2026, and a Montgomery Creek ownership transfer in September. The records reviewed do not show the current status or cost of every home.

What is established

HUD’s award lists confirm the two grant amounts and planned unit counts.
Housing’s reports place the planned homes at Montgomery Creek, XL and Tamarack.
Federal law requires the yearly performance report to be available for citizen comment before submission.
Housing lists current public program and application routes.

What remains open

How many homes are finished, inspected, ready and occupied.
What Tamarack site work costs and which homes it serves.
What the four pending applications would fund and when decisions are expected.
How many members need a home, repair or rental help now.
Who can approve a new purchase program or other program change.

Housing runs the programs; HUD funds and monitors the grants; local approval authority remains partly open

Pit River Tribal Housing Board

Runs housing programs and applications and prepares the Indian Housing Plan and Annual Performance Report. Housing can answer the project-status and program questions in the card.

HUD Office of Native American Programs

Awards and monitors federal grants and receives the Annual Performance Report. HUD’s role does not establish the current status of an individual home.

Tribal Council or another authorized Tribal body

May hold policy or funding authority under governing documents. The briefing does not claim powers that the reviewed records did not establish.

Members and households

Can use Housing’s application routes, ask where public records can be read, comment when the performance report is open, and keep a dated record of answers.

The six-question card turns the open items into a usable record

The card asks which homes are ready, what pending requests would fund, what the work will cost, who still needs help, where the plan and performance report can be read, and who can approve changes. It leaves room to record who answered, what they said and the next date.

Housing is the direct route for individual program help

Pit River Tribal Housing Board lists 20300 Fir Street, Burney, and (530) 335-4809. Its public pages describe elder and family rentals, Basic Home Ownership, rehabilitation assistance, down-payment assistance, and BIA and IHS application routes. Eligibility, openings and funding can change.

For an immediate threat to life or safety, contact emergency services rather than waiting on an application. Private income, medical, enrollment and family information belongs in Housing’s private process, not in a public correction or comment.

Sources and correction route

The full web briefing carries the source list and claim labels. The two load-bearing HUD award lists and Housing’s contact and program pages were rechecked for publication on October 29, 2026. The broader verified-through date remains October 28, 2026 because the complete source set was last checked then.
