Federal Grant Award Summary

The Southern Ute Indian Tribe received a $109,120 Formula Grant award dated April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, from the Administration on Aging under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047). This three-year award supports the delivery of supportive services, nutrition services, and caregiver services to tribal members aged 60 and older, with service levels comparable to those provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act.

The grant funds enable the Tribe to address the aging services needs of its approximately 3,579 community members living on and near the reservation in Colorado. As a federally recognized tribal government and eligible applicant under Section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, the Southern Ute Indian Tribe demonstrates the requisite capacity to serve at least 50 tribal members aged 60 or older through culturally appropriate programming that aligns with the program's emphasis on supportive services delivery to American Indian populations.
