Federal Grant Award Summary

The Karuk Tribe of California received a $136,000 formula grant award from the Administration on Aging (also known as the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living) under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047). The award, effective April 1, 2026, 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 tribe's service jurisdictions in California.

Under this three-year award, the Karuk Tribe will provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, serving the tribe's enrolled members and community members who meet program eligibility requirements. The formula grant aligns with the tribe's established capacity to manage federal funding and deliver comprehensive social services across its three primary service areas in Orleans, Happy Camp, and Yreka, California. All program records and financial reports must be maintained for three years following submission of final expenditure reports in accordance with program regulations.
