Housing Department

The Cayuga Nation Housing Department is dedicated to ensuring access to quality housing for Cayuga Nation citizens. The department operates through two housing entities:

  • Cayuga Nation Properties, a for-profit initiative
  • Cayuga Nation Housing Authority, which receives funding through the Indian Housing Block Grant.

Both divisions focus on expanding Nation housing on Indian reservations, with the Cayuga Nation Housing Authority actively working to acquire and construct new homes within the Cayuga Indian Nation territory.
