EXAMPLES OF FUNDED PROJECTS: Quileute Demonstration Project-Quileute Reservation, approximately one mile outside of La Push, Washington, 24 single units. Four elderly units.

Thus, as a result of this HIP effort housing programs started in Alaska Villages. Twenty units on Tonto-Apache Reservation in Payson, Arizona. These 20 units are also a fine example of HIP accomplishments with relatively low-cost. The homes are of good quality with a fine design. They are one to five bedroom units.

They are examples of HIP's flexibility in meeting individual families' housing needs by quality homes with expediency and low cost.
