The United Houma Nation Tribal administration and headquarters is 33\,000 square feet of needed space to allow the people of the Tribe to grow and flourish with access to sustainable programs that support their physical\, economic\, and cultural wellbeing. Unfortunately\, due to the age of this donated building and the increased concrete footprint that now surrounds it from home constructions since its establishment in the 1980s\, storm water is increasingly problematic to the overall health and welfare of the structure\, as well as its accessibility to the community. Proceeds from the 2023 Love Your City  Awards will support the UHN Hazard Mitigation and Cultural Resilience Project which is to be executed over a five-year period beginning in 2024.
