Opportunity Summary:

The Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) Program for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages - Mold Remediation and Prevention (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5900 N 02) is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) discretionary grant opportunity focused specifically on reducing mold-related hazards in tribal housing. This announcement represents a second round of funding for mold remediation and prevention activities that had previously been identified as "Category Two" grants under the FY 2014 ICDBG Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The purpose is practical and targeted: support eligible tribal applicants in cleaning up existing mold problems and putting measures in place to prevent mold from returning, particularly in housing that is owned or operated by tribes or Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs), or housing that has been assisted with HUD funding.

HUD made approximately $12.4 million available through this round, with an expectation of about 16 awards. Individual awards could be as large as $800,000, and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is housing. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make the program more accessible for communities that may not have flexible local funds to meet a match requirement.

Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments as well as other Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). At the same time, the notice is clear about who cannot apply: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to compete for or receive awards under this announcement. The focus is firmly on tribal governmental or tribal organizational entities that can carry out housing-related remediation and prevention work at a community scale and in compliance with federal program rules.

From a regulatory and compliance standpoint, the grant is administered under HUD's ICDBG authority, which comes from Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, and the implementing ICDBG regulations at 24 CFR Part 1003. Applicants are required to follow the application requirements described in the program-specific section of the NOFA as well as the broader "Policy Requirements and General Section" that applies to HUD's FY 2015 discretionary funding notices posted on Grants.gov. In other words, the application is not just about describing the mold project itself; it also requires applicants to meet HUD's general discretionary grant requirements, standard federal grant rules, and any cross-cutting requirements incorporated through the General Section.

The posting timeline indicates the opportunity was posted on April 20, 2015, with an original closing date of June 22, 2015, and a current closing date of June 24, 2015. Applications needed to be submitted electronically by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date was July 16, 2015, indicating when the opportunity was formally archived in the system. The CFDA number associated with the program is 14.862 (Indian Community Development Block Grant Program), which is useful for tracking and grants management purposes.
