Western Alliance Bank Teams Up With FHLBank San Francisco to Award the Yavapai-Apache Nation $800,000 Grant
This grant funding will support Yavapai-Apache Nation Tribal Housing (YANTH)'s construction of Yavapai-Apache Homes IX. This 38-unit new construction project offers a mix of two-bedroom duplexes and three- and four-bedroom single-family homes on Tribal trust land in the Tunlii community on the Yavapai-Apache Reservation in Camp Verde, Arizona.
'Western Alliance Bank recognizes that it is essential for Tribal members to have a safe, affordable place to call home,' said Aidan Tracey, assistant vice president of portfolio management for Western Alliance Bank's Affordable Housing Investments Group. 'There is strong demand for quality, affordable housing for members of the Yavapai-Apache Nation. We are proud to play a role in securing the well-being and stability of these communities with this step toward addressing housing needs for the Nation.'
In this phase of the project, 14 units are designated for households with annual incomes up to 30% of Area Median Income (AMI), 11 units for households with annual incomes up to 50% AMI, five units for households with annual incomes up to 60% AMI, and eight units for households up to 80% AMI. The Project also includes a community center for resident use. All of the units are committed for eventual tenant ownership at the end of the 15-year Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) compliance period.
As a member bank of the FHLBank San Francisco, Western Alliance Bank sponsored the Yavapai-Apache Nation's application to help secure this much-needed funding. Acting in a fiduciary capacity, the Western Alliance Affordable Housing Investments Group supported the Nation by facilitating the disbursement of funds, ensuring compliance with program requirements.
The grant was made possible through voluntary funding from FHLBank San Francisco, which supports affordable housing and economic development in local communities across Arizona, California and Nevada.
Western Alliance Bank remains committed to building strong local partnerships that support affordable housing, economic development and financial empowerment in our communities.

Critical Start Demonstrates How Human Validation Maximizes the Power of AI-Driven MDR
PLANO, TX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--While most MDR providers focus their energy on the high and critical alerts, Critical Start is asking a different question: What if the real danger is in the ones they skip? 32 percent of alerts escalated by Critical Start analysts in a single month were initially classified as low or medium severity by third-party security tools. At Black Hat 2025, Critical Start will showcase how its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) platform is redefining the standard by investigating, validating, and acting on every threat alert, regardless of severity. By combining deterministic AI models with expert human oversight and its proprietary Trusted Behavior Registry™ (TBR), Critical Start ensures nothing slips through the cracks, especially low or medium alerts that often hide early-stage threats. According to internal SOC data, 32 percent of alerts escalated by Critical Start analysts in a single month were initially classified as low or medium severity by third-party security tools. This underscores the importance of expert human validation in Critical Start's MDR service, ensuring real threats are identified and addressed regardless of their original classification. By combining AI-driven analysis with around-the-clock human investigation, Critical Start delivers both proactive investigation and reactive threat detection that outperforms automated tools alone and provides outcomes security teams can rely on. 'We built Critical Start services on the belief that every customer deserves outcomes they can trust,' said Scott White, CEO of Critical Start. 'Our platform doesn't make assumptions based on priority levels. We combine AI acceleration and human validation into every decision, every alert, and every response. If it lands in your queue, you deserve to know what it means and what's been done about it.' Human Eyes on Every Security Alert Rather than relying on AI alone to auto-close, suppress, or escalate alerts, Critical Start's MDR analysts validate every security alert, uncovering the blast radius of potential incidents and tracking even subtle activity across the environment. The company's Trusted Behavior Registry™ (TBR) plays a central role. This proprietary engine maintains a record of verified known-good activity per customer, allowing analysts to safely resolve false positives and investigate and respond to anything abnormal. TBR drastically reduces alert fatigue without sacrificing security. See It in Action at Black Hat USA 2025 Critical Start will be live at Booth # 5027 at Mandalay Bay, August 7–8, offering demos of its MDR platform, including: Expert validation of every alert, regardless of severity Full transparency into every decision and action taken Real-time resolution supported by contractual SLAs MobileSOC®, the industry's leading mobile SOC app The power of TBR, cutting noise without cutting corners Proven MDR with proactive detection and fast response About Critical Start Critical Start is a leading provider of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services, combining AI acceleration with expert human validation to eliminate false positives, reduce alert noise, and deliver fast, reliable threat resolution.
