UKIAH, CA., 10/1/25 — Northern Circle Indian Housing Authority’s services will not be impacted by the federal government shutdown, the Mendocino County-based housing authority said Wednesday.
Northern Circle Indian Housing Authority is a tribal housing entity that was created in 1979 to support Northern California tribal members in finding affordable housing. The organization provides housing programs and other services like rental assistance, move-in deposit support, housing rehabilitation and onsite housing for those struggling to find low-cost housing.
According to a statement issued by the housing entity’s executive director Christine De Los Santos, their center “remains fully open and here for you during the federal government shutdown. All of our programs and services — including rental subsidies, housing assistance, and community support will continue without interruption.”
Congress failed to agree on a budget Tuesday, triggering a federal government shutdown that will furlough some employees and pause some federal services.
“We will stay in close communication and share updates as soon as we have new information,” the press release continues. “We remain hopeful that leaders in Washington will come to an agreement soon, bringing an end to the uncertainty.”
