Seneca Nation, HUD To Announce Healthy Homes Grant

IRVING, N.Y. (AP) — The Seneca Indian Nation is getting some help from the federal government to address home health risks in its western New York territories.

Seneca President Todd Gates is scheduled to announce details of a grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development on Monday. He'll be joined by HUD's regional administrator, Lynne Patton, at a 2 p.m. news conference on the Cattaraugus territory.

It's the first time the Seneca Nation has received a Healthy Homes Production grant. The program targets hazards like mold, lead and carbon monoxide in the home.
