Federal Grant Award Summary

The Bishop Indian Tribal Council, doing business as the Bishop Paiute Tribe, received a $109,120 Formula Grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047) effective April 1, 2026. The grant funds the delivery of supportive services, nutrition services, and caregiver support services to American Indian and Alaskan Native populations aged 60 and older within the tribal jurisdiction. These services are designed to be comparable to those provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act and address the social service and nutritional needs of eligible elder tribal members.

The three-year award period extends through March 31, 2029, and requires the tribe to maintain program and financial records for three years following final expenditure report submission. As a federally recognized tribal government with demonstrated capacity to deliver supportive and nutrition services, the Bishop Paiute Tribe meets the program's eligibility requirements of representing at least 50 Indians aged 60 or older. This formula grant reflects the program's ongoing commitment to supporting elder services within tribal communities across the United States.
