Federal Grant Award Summary

The Wiyot Tribe received a formula grant award of $206,840 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). The award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, supports the delivery of nutrition services, supportive services, and caregiver support for American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the tribal community. The Wiyot Tribe's DA ROU Gawok (Administration) Division administers the grant, building on the tribe's demonstrated capacity to manage federal funding and deliver comprehensive community services across multiple program areas.

Under this three-year performance period, the funding enables the Wiyot Tribe to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act, addressing the nutritional, health, and support service needs of the tribe's senior population. The award recognizes the tribe's established administrative infrastructure and commitment to elder services as part of its broader portfolio of federal grant activities serving tribal governance and community well-being in Loleta, California.
