The Indian Housing Block Grants (IHBG) program is authorized under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. §4101 et seq.) (NAHASDA). Regulations for the program, which are found at 24 CFR Part 1000, were written by HUD in negotiation with Tribes and tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs). Funds are awarded based on a formula to Tribes and TDHEs to provide a range of affordable housing activities that primarily benefit low-income Indian families living on Indian reservations or in other Indian areas and include activities that: 1) assist and promote affordable housing activities to develop, maintain, and operate affordable housing in safe and healthy environments on Indian reservations and in other Indian areas for occupancy by low-income Indian families; 2) coordinate activities to provide housing for Indian tribes and their members and to promote self-sufficiency and their members; 3) plan for and integrate infrastructure resources for Indian tribes with housing development for Indian tribes. In addition to providing funding for formula grants, Congress provided funding for competitive grants in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (Public Law 115-141, approved March 23, 2018) and Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (Public Law 116-6, approved February 15, 2019) and Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-94, approved December 20, 2019).

A - Formula Grants

Indian tribes (as defined under section 4(13) of NAHASDA); Tribally designated housing entity (TDHE) (as defined under 4(22) of NAHASDA)

The primary beneficiaries of funds awarded for both IHBG formula and competitive grants are families that meet the criteria of NAHASDA and 24 CFR 1000.104.
