Mercy Community Capital provided a $1 million loan to Apsáalooke Nation Housing Authority (ANHA) for the preservation of 31 affordable housing rental units consisting of a 14-unit property for seniors, one duplex for families, and 15 single-family homes. These scattered-site properties are spread throughout the Crow Nation reservation in Big Horn County, Montana, housing 113 Native American residents with incomes between 30-60% of AMI.

This loan provided funding for the rehabilitation of homes where there is not enough electricity to provide adequate heating, roofs are leaking, and unsafe flooring is commonplace.

This is MCC’s first loan to ANHA, whose goal is to create and maintain safe, sustainable, and culturally enriched housing solutions for Crow Tribal members. Residents are also provided enriched services, including financial counseling and financial literacy classes, transportation services, and youth programs.
