Community Development Block Grant Program for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages

The Community Development Block Grant Program for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages aims to develop viable Indian and Alaska Native communities by creating decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities primarily for low- and moderate-income persons. The program is competitive and will award grants to eligible applicants. The primary objective of the program is to benefit low- and moderate-income persons, and projects must principally benefit these individuals. Some key points about this opportunity include: • Eligible applicants are Indian tribes or tribal organizations that are eligible under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. • The program has two types of grants: Single Purpose Grants and Imminent Threat Grants. • Single Purpose Grants are competitive and must benefit low- and moderate-income persons. • Imminent Threat Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis and are used to address issues that have an immediate negative impact on public health or safety of tribal residents. • The estimated funding for this program is $90,000,000, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and an award floor of $500,000.
