Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) program is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Office of Native American Programs (ONAP) within HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing. Its central aim is to support the development of strong, viable Indian and Alaska Native communities by improving housing conditions, creating healthier and safer living environments, and expanding economic opportunities. A key requirement is that funded activities must primarily benefit people with low and moderate incomes, consistent with the definitions and standards in 24 CFR Part 1003, which governs the ICDBG program.

Eligible applicants are Indian tribes, as well as tribal organizations applying on behalf of one or more eligible tribes. When a tribal organization applies for a tribe (or multiple tribes), the tribe(s) must authorize that organization through concurring resolutions. In addition, the tribal organization must be eligible under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, and that eligibility must be formally determined by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) or the Indian Health Service (IHS), depending on which agency is appropriate. In practical terms, this means HUD is looking for applicants that clearly meet federal definitions of tribal eligibility and can document that status by the application deadline required under 24 CFR 1003.5.

This opportunity supports two main funding tracks. The first, and most common, is the Single Purpose Grant, which is awarded through an annual competitive process in response to the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). Single purpose projects must meet the program's "primary objective" at 24 CFR 1003.2, meaning the work must principally benefit low and moderate income persons. On top of that, at least 70 percent of the expenditures under each single purpose grant must fall into one or more eligible benefit categories described in 24 CFR 1003.208. These categories include area benefit activities (projects that benefit a defined service area where the beneficiaries are largely low to moderate income), limited clientele activities (serving a specific eligible population), housing activities, and job creation or retention activities. The overall menu of eligible uses is broad and community-centered, including improving housing stock, building or upgrading community facilities, improving infrastructure, and supporting local economic development to expand job opportunities. The description also emphasizes that ICDBG can be particularly helpful when economic development is carried out through nonprofit tribal organizations or local development corporations.

The second track is the Imminent Threat Grant, designed for urgent situations where there is a serious and immediate threat to health and safety that requires a prompt solution. These grants fall under 24 CFR Part 1003, Subpart E. Unlike the single purpose competition, applicants do not have to request imminent threat funding by the NOFA deadline; however, when they do apply, they still must follow the NOFA requirements applicable to imminent threat applications. This provides a mechanism for tribes to seek help quickly when unexpected emergencies arise, while still maintaining program and documentation standards.
