Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe received a $157,530 formula grant award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, 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). This award supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver support to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the tribe's jurisdiction, consistent with services provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act.

The funding enables the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe to maintain and expand critical aging services tailored to the needs of Native American seniors in the Auburn, Washington area. These services align with the program's mandate to provide culturally appropriate nutrition and supportive interventions comparable to mainstream aging programs, with the tribe demonstrating established capacity to administer comprehensive services to its population. The three-year grant period allows for sustained program implementation with annual performance assessments and financial reporting requirements as specified under federal aging services regulations.
