Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

Yellowhawk Tribal Health Center received a $157,530 formula grant awarded on April 1, 2026, under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047), administered by the Administration on Aging. This three-year award, extending through March 31, 2029, supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation community in northeastern Oregon. The funding enables Yellowhawk to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, enhancing access to critical support programs for tribal elders.

The formula grant funding supports Yellowhawk's established capacity to serve a population of at least 50 enrolled tribal members aged 60 or older. As a comprehensive tribal health entity with extensive experience managing federally funded initiatives, Yellowhawk leverages this award to complement its broader suite of health services, including primary care, nutrition programming, and community health initiatives. The grant operates under standard Administration on Aging compliance requirements, including maintenance of program and financial records for three years following final expenditure reports and potential renewal contingent upon satisfactory performance and fund availability.
