Opportunity Summary:
The Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) Program under the Recovery Act was a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding opportunity that provided block grant resources to eligible Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages to support community development activities. The program is authorized through a set-aside from the larger Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) formula program established in Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5306). Its central purpose is to help tribal communities address basic housing and infrastructure needs while also strengthening local economies and expanding job opportunities.
Grant funds could be used across a broad range of eligible activities tied to improving living conditions and community capacity. This included housing construction and rehabilitation, acquisition of land for housing, and direct assistance designed to help low- and moderate-income households achieve homeownership. It also covered construction of tribal and other community facilities that could serve single or multiple uses, along with public infrastructure such as streets and related public facilities. In addition, the program allowed for certain economic development projects intended to stimulate business activity, support employment, and promote longer-term community stability.
Because this opportunity was funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act), it emphasized speed and readiness. Tribes were required to prioritize projects that could move quickly to implementation, specifically those capable of awarding contracts based on bids within 120 days of the date funds became available. This requirement reflected the Recovery Act goal of rapidly deploying federal dollars to create jobs and accelerate tangible improvements in communities.
The total estimated funding available under this announcement was $10,000,000, with an award ceiling of $600,000 per grant. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was posted on May 27, 2009, created on June 8, 2009, and closed on July 7, 2009, with the archive date listed as July 8, 2009. The funding opportunity number was FR 5318 N 01.
Eligibility was limited and specifically tied to prior participation in the ICDBG program. Eligible applicants included Indian tribes, bands, groups, nations, and tribal organizations, including Alaska Indians, Aleuts, and Eskimos, as well as any Alaska Native village eligible for assistance under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (or that had previously been eligible under the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972). A key condition in this announcement was that applicants must have received ICDBG funds in fiscal year 2008 to qualify for these Recovery Act funds.
For additional details and official program materials, the announcement referenced the HUD Recovery website. The listed point of contact for assistance, particularly for applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, was Roberta Youmans, Grants Management Specialist, at 202-402-3316.
