One
of 16 regional housing authorities
in Alaska, the Bristol Bay Housing Authority's mission is to eliminate
substandard housing conditions through the development of local
capacities that will provide safe, decent and affordable housing
opportunities for the Native population of Bristol Bay.
Since its founding
in 1974, BBHA has built more than 500 such units, single family
homes and apartments, with funds provided by the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Native American Programs,
the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation., and the U.S. Department
of Agriculture Rural Development Division.
Housing
authority commissioners, appointed by the directors of the Bristol
Bay Native Association, include (left to right, above) Chairman

and Commissioners
Boris Kosbruk and Mark Eddie Angasan.
BBHA
Commissioners and staff mourn the loss of Commissioner and Secretary-Treasurer
Joseph Clark, who served from 1983 until his death October 14, 2005.
