Opportunity Summary:
The Community Development Block Grant Program for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages (ICDBG) is a discretionary, competitive grant program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) within the Office of Public and Indian Housing. Its central aim is to help build and sustain viable Indian and Alaska Native communities by supporting projects that strengthen housing conditions, improve the local living environment, and expand economic opportunities. A core requirement is that funded activities must primarily benefit people with low and moderate incomes, using the income definitions and standards set out in 24 CFR 1003.4, and meet the program’s “primary objective” described in 24 CFR 1003.2.
Eligible applicants are Indian tribes, as well as tribal organizations applying on behalf of one or more eligible tribes. Tribal organizations can apply under 24 CFR 1003.5(b), but only when the tribe or tribes formally authorize the organization to act for them through concurring resolutions. In addition, the tribal organization itself must be eligible under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. That eligibility is not assumed; it must be formally determined by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) or the Indian Health Service (IHS), depending on which agency is appropriate for the organization. The eligibility determination must be submitted to the relevant Area ONAP office by the application deadline, making it a time-sensitive threshold item rather than something that can be handled after submission.
The opportunity highlighted here focuses on “Single Purpose Grants,” which are awarded annually through a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) and are competitively scored. Single purpose projects still must meet the program’s main low- and moderate-income benefit test, and the grant has a specific expenditure rule: at least 70 percent of the funds spent under each single purpose grant must go toward activities that satisfy one of the national objective categories listed at 24 CFR 1003.208. Those categories include area benefit activities (projects benefiting a defined geographic area where a sufficient share of residents are low- and moderate-income), limited clientele activities (projects serving a specific group that is presumed or demonstrated to be primarily low- and moderate-income), housing activities (including improvements tied to decent, safe, and sanitary housing outcomes), and job creation or retention activities (economic development efforts that create or keep jobs for low- and moderate-income persons).
ICDBG funds are broadly intended to address community development needs in Indian Country and Alaska Native villages, with examples including improving existing housing stock, developing or renovating community facilities, upgrading basic infrastructure, and strengthening local economies. The economic development emphasis can include support that expands job opportunities and community-based growth, particularly through nonprofit tribal organizations or local development corporations when those efforts align with the program rules and the low- and moderate-income benefit requirements. Overall, the program is designed to translate community priorities into capital-ready projects that improve day-to-day living conditions while also building longer-term economic resilience.
For the specific funding cycle referenced in the source data, the funding opportunity number is FR-5300-N-05, the CFDA number is 14.862, the estimated total funding available is $65,000,000, and the program does not require cost sharing or matching. The opportunity was posted May 29, 2009, with an application closing date of August 7, 2009 (archived August 8, 2009). Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Roberta L. Youmans, Grants Management Specialist, at 202-402-3316, with additional details available through the NOFA website link included in the announcement.
