CROWNPOINT, N.M. — Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren visited a newly completed home on October 23 to celebrate the turnover of the home to a Crownpoint, N.M. recipient through the Navajo Nation’s ARPA housing project. The ceremony marked the beginning of the Eastern Navajo Agency phase of the ARPA housing project, opening a new chapter in providing safe and modern housing for Navajo families.
The person receiving the keys expressed deep gratitude and thanked everyone involved in making the project possible, from the housing teams on the ground to the leadership and partners who helped bring the effort to life.
The home was fully installed, inspected, and verified by the Navajo Nation Community Housing and Infrastructure Department (CHID). President Nygren emphasized that while power and water connections are still being finalized, no home will go without electricity and water. The Nation is working closely with NTUA to ensure utility access as quickly as possible.
The ARPA housing project, managed through the Division of Community Development (DCD) and CHID, is one of the largest housing initiatives in the Nation’s history. Out of 130 homes planned, 32 have already been turned over in the Northern Agency phase. With those nearly complete, the project team has shifted its focus to the Eastern Navajo Agency, with a goal of completing all homes by the end of November 2025.
The ARPA housing project showcases how coordination, accountability, and commitment deliver results. Another home has been given, and President Nygren expressed his excitement to continue working hard and helping deliver homes across the Navajo Nation as part of his “1,000 Homes Initiative.”
