About the Taġiuġmiullu Nunamiullu Housing Authority:
TNHA’s mission is to excel in the delivery of opportunities for affordable housing that empower, build, and sustain vibrant self-determined communities on the Arctic Slope for generations to come. We are one of fourteen regional housing authorities in Alaska, and were originally incorporated in 1974 as the Arctic Slope Regional Housing Authority. Our Iñupiaq name, reflecting our service to the coastal and inland peoples of the Arctic Slope, was adopted in 1993.
After the passage of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996, TNHA became the Tribally Designated Housing Entity for the villages of Anaktuvuk Pass, Atqasuk, Kaktovik, Nuiqsut, Point Lay, and Wainwright. A major area-wide development under Title VI of NAHASDA from 2013-2015 built 24 energy-efficient homes in these villages. Today, TNHA manages an inventory of approximately 300 total housing units across a service area the size of Minnesota, and is preparing its next Title VI development to break ground in 2025.
