Opportunity Summary:
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number FR 6000 N 23 and is associated with CFDA 14.862. The program sits within HUD's broader community development funding activity area and is designed to support eligible tribal communities through grant-based assistance that can be used for a wide range of community development needs.
This opportunity is open to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, as well as Native American tribal organizations that are not themselves federally recognized tribal governments. In practical terms, that means the program is intended to reach both formal tribal governmental entities and certain eligible tribal organizations that serve tribal communities. The funding instrument is a grant, and HUD categorizes the opportunity as discretionary, meaning awards are competitive and not automatically provided based on a formula alone.
The notice indicates an estimated total of about 75 awards, with an individual award ceiling of up to $5,500,000. The presence of a relatively high ceiling suggests the program can support projects that range from smaller, targeted community improvements to larger-scale development efforts, depending on the applicant's proposal and HUD's award decisions. Since this is a CDBG program tailored for tribes and Alaska Native villages, the funds generally align with classic CDBG purposes: strengthening communities by supporting viable community development activities, often with an emphasis on benefiting low- and moderate-income persons, addressing urgent community needs, and improving living conditions. While the provided source text does not spell out specific eligible activities, CDBG programs typically support projects such as community facilities, infrastructure improvements, housing-related activities, public services, planning, and other development initiatives that meet program requirements.
The opportunity was created and posted on April 13, 2016, and the original and current closing dates are both June 14, 2016, indicating no deadline extension was reflected in the source data. Applicants interested in this funding would have needed to prepare and submit their application materials by that date according to the solicitation's requirements, including any project narratives, budgets, and compliance-related documentation HUD requires for tribal CDBG submissions.
