What
types of grants are available for Indian housing and community development?
HUD
awards grants to tribes and other Indian entities through either
a competitive process (discretionary grants), or on a formula basis
in the case of the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) Program. The
competitions for discretionary grant programs are announced in the
HUD SuperNOFA,
which is published once each Federal fiscal year.
Program Descriptions
Indian Community Development Block Grant
Program (ICDBG)
Provides Indian tribes (and certain Indian organizations
applying on behalf of tribes) with direct grants for use in developing
viable Indian and Alaska Native Communities, including decent housing,
a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, primarily
for low and moderate income persons.
Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) Program
A formula grant that allows tribes or tribally designated housing
entities (TDHEs) to provide a range of affordable housing activities
on a reservation or Indian area. These activities are identified
and described in an Indian
Housing Plan (IHP) which is prepared each year and submitted
to HUD for review and compliance with NAHASDA.
