The Department of Housing and Urban Development has restored $11.9 million in federal funds to the Navajo Nation for the completion of 102 housing units.
The money was suspended because the Navajo Housing Authority failed to publish an environmental assessment and collect public comments, HUD said.
This caused the project to be delayed for nearly nine months.
The tribe needs to start work on 44 homes at the complex in Shiprock, New Mexico. Construction is nearly complete on 58 homes.
