Federal Grant Award Summary

The Navajo Nation Tribal Government received a $208,306 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 (CFDA 93.047) program. The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, funds the delivery of supportive services, nutrition services, and caregiver services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the Navajo Nation's service area. This three-year grant enables the tribe to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, addressing critical community needs for vulnerable senior populations across the tribal jurisdiction.

Under this formula grant, the Navajo Nation is responsible for maintaining comprehensive program records and financial reports for three years following submission of final expenditure reports, in accordance with federal audit and compliance requirements. The award is contingent upon the organization's demonstrated capacity to deliver supportive and nutrition services to at least 50 eligible Indian elders and their caregivers, consistent with the program's requirements for tribal applicants under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act.
