Opportunity Summary:
The Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Institutions Assisting Communities (AN/HIAC) grant is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to strengthen the capacity of eligible Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Institutions of Higher Education to address local community development challenges. The program focuses on helping these institutions expand their role and effectiveness in activities tied to neighborhood revitalization, housing improvement, and economic development, with the primary intent of benefiting low- and moderate-income residents. The grant is rooted in the purposes of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, which is the same broader federal framework that supports community development efforts aimed at improving living conditions and economic opportunity.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5300 N 29) was offered as a grant, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000 and an expectation of making about four awards. Individual awards could be as high as $800,000, and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically makes it more accessible to institutions that may not have the resources to provide significant non-federal contributions.
Eligible applicants were nonprofit Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Institutions of Higher Education that meet the statutory definitions laid out in Title III, Part A, Section 317 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as updated by the Higher Education Amendments of 1998 (Public Law 105-244). Importantly, institutions did not have to appear on the U.S. Department of Education list of eligible Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian institutions, but if they were not on that list, they had to include a statement in the application confirming that they meet the statutory definition. To qualify as an Alaska Native Institution under this program, at least 20 percent of the undergraduate headcount enrollment had to be Alaska Native students. To qualify as a Native Hawaiian Institution, at least 10 percent of the undergraduate headcount enrollment had to be Native Hawaiian students. In addition to these enrollment thresholds, applicants had to be two-year or four-year institutions and fully accredited by a national or regional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
The announcement also addressed how multi-campus institutions could apply. A campus that is part of a larger university system could submit a separate application for each campus, but only one application per campus was allowed. If more than one application came from the same campus, all submissions from that campus would be disqualified. For separate campuses to apply independently, each campus needed its own DUNS number (used at the time to uniquely identify entities seeking federal funding), an administrative and budgeting structure independent from other campuses in the system, and it still had to meet the AN/HIAC eligibility definition. These rules were meant to prevent duplicate funding requests from the same campus while still allowing distinct campuses serving different communities to pursue resources tailored to their local needs.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted on June 25, 2009, with a closing date of July 24, 2009, and it was later archived on August 23, 2009. Application materials and instructions were made available through Grants.gov, reflecting the standard federal submission process for discretionary grant programs. For applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, HUD provided direct contact points: Sherone Ivey at (202) 402-4200 and Susan S. Brunson at (202) 402-3852.
Overall, AN/HIAC was structured to channel HUD resources through eligible Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian higher education institutions so they could act as community anchors and partners in local development. The emphasis on neighborhood revitalization, housing, and economic development suggests that projects supported under this program were intended to be practical and community-facing, with measurable benefits for residents, especially those with low and moderate incomes, while also building the long-term institutional ability of these schools to lead or support community development work.
