Opportunity Summary:
The Community Development Block Grant Program for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages (ICDBG) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help strengthen Indian and Alaska Native communities. The core goal is community development that results in decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic opportunities, with a clear emphasis on benefiting low and moderate income people as defined in the ICDBG regulations at 24 CFR Part 1003. The program is administered by HUD's Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) within the Office of Public and Indian Housing, which is the part of HUD that specializes in serving tribal and Native communities.
Funding is available to eligible Indian tribes and, in certain cases, to eligible tribal organizations applying on behalf of one or more tribes. A tribal organization can submit an application if it is authorized by the tribe or tribes through concurring resolutions, and the organization must be eligible under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. In practical terms, this means a tribe can designate an eligible tribal entity to apply and manage the grant, but that authority has to be formally documented and consistent with HUD's eligibility rules at 24 CFR 1003.5.
The opportunity supports two main types of assistance. First are Single Purpose Grants, which are awarded through an annual competitive process in response to the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). These projects must meet the program's primary objective at 24 CFR 1003.2, meaning the activities must principally benefit low and moderate income persons. HUD also applies a spending threshold to ensure the focus stays on that objective: at least 70 percent of each single purpose grant's expenditures must go toward activities that qualify under 24 CFR 1003.208. Those qualifying categories include area benefit activities (projects that benefit a specific geographic area where residents are primarily low/moderate income), limited clientele activities (services or benefits targeted to a specific eligible population), housing activities, and job creation or retention activities. In other words, the bulk of the money needs to be spent on activities that clearly and documentably serve low and moderate income people, either through community-wide benefits, targeted services, housing outcomes, or employment impacts.
ICDBG funds under the single purpose category can be used across a broad but community-development-focused range of activities. The NOFA highlights improving housing stock, developing or upgrading community facilities, improving infrastructure, and expanding job opportunities by supporting local economic development efforts. It also notes that economic development can be carried out in ways that especially support nonprofit tribal organizations or local development corporations, reflecting an emphasis on building durable, community-based capacity rather than one-off projects. Overall, the eligible uses are aimed at the kinds of basic improvements that make communities healthier, safer, and more economically resilient, such as housing rehabilitation, essential public facilities, and infrastructure that supports daily living and local business growth.
Second are Imminent Threat Grants, which are intended for urgent situations that pose threats to health and safety and require immediate action, consistent with 24 CFR Part 1003, Subpart E. Unlike the annual single purpose competition, applicants do not have to submit an imminent threat request by the NOFA deadline described for the competitive round. However, when a tribe or authorized tribal organization does apply for imminent threat funds, it still must comply with the applicable NOFA requirements during that application process. The basic idea is that urgent hazards are handled on a timeline that matches the emergency, while still preserving program rules and documentation standards.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted April 20, 2011, with a closing deadline of June 15, 2011, and it appears in the federal listing under CFDA 14.862 (Indian Community Development Block Grant Program). The funding instrument is a grant, it is categorized under housing/community development, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted. Eligible applicants are described broadly in the posting as "others," with clarification that eligibility is limited to Indian tribes or tribal organizations applying on behalf of Indian tribes, provided they meet the regulatory eligibility requirements by the application deadline. For access issues or administrative questions, the notice provides a HUD grants management contact (Roberta Youmans, 202-402-3316).
