Background
The Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) Competitive Grant Program is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996. The program aims to provide grants to eligible Indian tribes and tribally designated housing entities (TDHEs) to carry out a range of affordable housing activities, primarily benefiting low-income Indian families.

Grant Details
Under the IHBG program, eligible Indian tribes and TDHEs receive grants to develop, maintain, and operate affordable housing in safe and healthy environments on Indian reservations and in other Indian areas. The grant funds may also be used for other affordable housing activities. The program gives priority to projects that spur construction and rehabilitation of housing, while considering housing need and the recipient's administrative capacity.

HUD encourages new affordable housing construction projects, housing rehabilitation projects, acquisition of existing housing units, and necessary affordable housing-related infrastructure projects. Additionally, applicants may apply for funding to carry out other eligible activities under NAHASDA. All applications received through this NOFO will be rated, and funds will be awarded based on the score received on the application submitted under this NOFO.

Eligibility Requirements
Eligible applicants include Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments). Additionally, Alaska Native Alaskan Indian Housing Block Grant recipients that received IHBG grants in Fiscal Year 2005 are eligible to apply directly for funding under this NOFO. However, Native Alaskan tribes that are required to designate a Tribally Designated Housing Entity (TDHE) in Alaska for their IHBG formula program may not apply directly for funding under this competition.

Period of Performance
The period of performance for projects considered under this NOFO cannot exceed 5 years.

The estimated project start date is 07/13/2023, and the estimated project end date is 07/12/2028.

$129,248,141 is available through this NOFO with a minimum award amount of $500,000 per project period and a maximum award amount of $7,500,000 per project period.
