Formula Grant 2601NEOATA

The Omaha Tribe of Nebraska received a $109,120 formula grant award 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). The award, issued on April 1, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2029, supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to tribal members aged 60 and older. These services are designed to be comparable to those provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act and address the specific needs of the American Indian elder population in the Omaha tribal community.

As a federally recognized tribal government, the Omaha Tribe demonstrated the capacity to deliver the required supportive and nutrition services and represents a population exceeding the program's threshold of 50 eligible elders. The three-year performance period allows the tribe to establish and maintain comprehensive aging services that support the health, nutrition, and independence of its senior population, consistent with the program's objective to promote comparable aging services across American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian communities.
