FIGR Housing

About Us

The Housing Department was formed to improve the quality of life for Tribal Citizens of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (FIGR) by assisting Tribal Citizen households to obtain and maintain a comfortable, safe, and sanitary home. The Housing Department staff is here to serve Tribal Citizens through various housing programs developed by the Tribe and administered by the Housing Department. Some of the programs are funded by an annual Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), with additional programs funded from Tribal General Welfare Benefits (GWB). The primary service area for the Tribe includes Sonoma and Marin Counties, however selected programs are administered in a larger service area, with some programs available throughout the United States
