Federal Grant Award Summary

The Coeur D'Alene Tribe received a formula grant award of $136,600 from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Community Services under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP, CFDA 93.568). The award was obligated on October 1, 2025, with a performance period extending through September 30, 2027. Under this formula-based allocation, the Coeur D'Alene Tribe delivers direct energy assistance services to eligible low-income households within its tribal jurisdiction in Idaho, including utility bill payment assistance, emergency energy crisis intervention, and weatherization improvements designed to maintain safe and healthy living conditions for vulnerable community members.

As a federally recognized Native American tribe, the Coeur D'Alene Tribe operates this program in compliance with LIHEAP requirements, including submission of an annual LIHEAP Model Plan detailing service delivery, public participation, and policy compliance. The tribe is responsible for conducting meaningful public input processes and maintaining audit compliance under Single Audit Act requirements. The funding represents the tribe's proportional formula allocation under the congressionally appropriated LIHEAP program, enabling direct service delivery to low-income residents while addressing the financial burden of home energy costs across the tribal community.
