Federal Grant Award Summary

The Puyallup Tribe of Indians received a $122,960 formula grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047). This funding supports the delivery of supportive services, nutrition services, and caregiver services to American Indian and Alaska Native populations aged 60 and older, with service delivery comparable to those provided under Title III of the Older Americans Act. The three-year award enables the Puyallup Tribe's Tribal Administration Office to expand its capacity to serve approximately 18,000 urban Native Americans in the Tacoma, Washington area.

As a federally recognized tribal government, the Puyallup Tribe leverages this formula grant allocation to provide culturally relevant elder services and community-specific interventions addressing nutrition and supportive care needs within its service population. The award is contingent upon satisfactory performance and fund availability, with the tribe required to maintain all program and financial records for three years following submission of final expenditure reports in accordance with Administration on Aging regulations.
