Rental Assistance Program
The Rental Assistance Program, administered by the Housing Authority of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma (HASNOK), provides critical housing support to income-eligible Native American families, ensuring access to safe, decent, and affordable homes within the Nation’s service area. Eligible participants include tribal members, Freedmen, or Native American families who meet HUD income guidelines (≤80% of the national median income). Assistance is provided through a flat-rate subsidy—$220 per month for standard housing or $350 per month for Tiny Homes—paid directly to landlords on behalf of participants. The program helps prevent homelessness, displacement, and housing insecurity by covering part of monthly rent while requiring tenants to maintain compliance with occupancy standards, unit upkeep, and program rules. Priority is given to displaced households, Seminole tribal members, elders, disabled families, veterans, and first-time applicants. By supporting housing stability, HASNOK strengthens community well-being and promotes equitable access to affordable housing.
