Opportunity Summary:
The Community Development Block Grant Program for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages (ICDBG) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to strengthen the long-term viability of Indian and Alaska Native communities. The core aim is community development that results in decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities, with a clear emphasis on benefiting people with low and moderate incomes as defined in federal regulation (24 CFR 1003.4). The program is administered by HUDs Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) within the Office of Public and Indian Housing, which oversees how funds are competed, awarded, and monitored.
This funding opportunity supports two main types of grants. The first is the Single Purpose Grant track, which is the standard competitive funding route for planned community development projects. To qualify, proposed activities must meet the ICDBG primary objective (24 CFR 1003.2), meaning they must principally benefit low and moderate income persons. A key rule is that at least 70 percent of each Single Purpose grants expenditures must go toward activities that meet specific eligibility categories described at 24 CFR 1003.208. Those categories include area benefit activities (projects that benefit residents within a defined service area), limited clientele activities (projects serving a specific group that qualifies under program rules), housing activities (development or improvement of housing), and job creation or retention activities (economic development efforts that create or keep jobs for eligible beneficiaries). In practical terms, ICDBG Single Purpose funds can be used for a wide range of community priorities, such as improving or rehabilitating housing stock, building or upgrading community facilities, addressing infrastructure needs like water or wastewater systems, and supporting local economic development efforts that expand job opportunities.
The second track is the Imminent Threat (IT) Grant component, which is meant for urgent situations that pose a serious threat to health or safety and require an immediate fix. These grants fall under 24 CFR Part 1003, subpart E, and are intended to address problems that either were not evident during the regular Single Purpose grant cycle or that demand action too quickly to wait for the next competition. The notice explains a timing limitation tied to federal budgeting: IT requests were not to be submitted to the local ONAP office until a FY2012 appropriation was enacted. If Congress provided funds for IT grants and an application met the requirements laid out in the NOFA, awards could be made until the portion of funding set aside for imminent threats was fully spent.
Administrative details in the announcement highlight that the total estimated funding available was about $60,000,000, but that amount depended on enactment of the FY2012 HUD appropriations. The notice also states that HUD could supplement available funds using carryover amounts from prior years or funds that were recaptured. The program is listed under CFDA 14.862 (Indian Community Development Block Grant Program), does not require cost sharing or matching, and uses the standard federal grant instrument. The funding opportunity number associated with this notice is FR 5600 N 02. Key dates in the posting show it was posted October 4, 2011, created November 28, 2011, and had an application deadline of January 4, 2012, with the archive date listed as January 20, 2012.
Eligibility is limited to Indian tribes or tribal organizations applying on behalf of Indian tribes, and applicants had to meet the definition of an eligible Indian tribe (or tribal organization) under 24 CFR 1003.5 by the application deadline. The announcement directs applicants to download the application package and instructions using the CFDA number only, and it provides a point of contact for help accessing the full announcement: Roberta Youmans, Grants Management Specialist, at 202-402-3316, identified as the contact person for the ICDBG program.
