Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 5300 N 05

The Community Development Block Grant Program for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages (ICDBG) allows tribal organizations to apply for funding on behalf of eligible tribes, given that they have proper authorization through concurring resolutions. The tribal organization must be eligible under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, and this eligibility must be confirmed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) or the Indian Health Service (IHS) by the application deadline.

The ICDBG program aims to support the development of sustainable communities for Indian and Alaska Native populations by fostering decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities, primarily for low- and moderate-income individuals. The Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) within HUD oversees the administration of the program.

Projects funded through ICDBG must specifically benefit low- and moderate-income persons, with at least 70 percent of grant expenditures allocated to activities such as area benefit, limited clientele, housing, and job creation or retention. The funds can be utilized for improving housing, developing community facilities, enhancing infrastructure, and boosting job opportunities, particularly through nonprofit tribal organizations or local development corporations. These grants are awarded annually through a competitive process in response to the notice of funding availability (NOFA).
