Grantee: American Indian Community Housing Organization (AICHO)

A true sign of resilience in a community during a pandemic is the activism and compassion of residents who take the initiative to care for fellow neighbors in need.

The American Indian Community Housing Organization(AICHO) took steps to ensure that basic needs of food and protective equipment reached the most vulnerable in the Duluth community. AICHO prevented the spread of COVID, addressed hunger, and strengthened the community through the distribution of household supplies, personal protective equipment, and food.

AICHO’s actions helped over 3,000 households, 2450 unsheltered neighbors, and 350 isolated or quarantined households.

In the greatest time of need, AICHO subdued the harm of COVID while instilling faith and dignity within the community.
