Federal Grant Award Summary

Tule River Indian Health Center, Inc. received a $122,960 formula grant award from the Administration on Aging (AOA) under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029. This three-year award supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver services to American Indian and Native Hawaiian populations aged 60 and older in California. The funding enables the organization to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, with a focus on culturally appropriate and community-tailored interventions for elder populations.

As a tribally owned healthcare provider serving the Tule River Indian Tribe and surrounding Native American communities in Tulare County, the awardee will utilize the grant funding to enhance existing elder care and support programs within its service region. The formula grant represents part of a broader federal initiative to address healthcare and social service gaps for Native American elders, with the AOA administering consistent funding across multiple tribal jurisdictions nationally. Grantee performance will be evaluated annually, with renewals contingent upon satisfactory delivery of required services and continued fund availability.
