Federal Grant Award Summary

Indian Township Tribal Government received a $321,671 Formula Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Community Services under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP, CFDA 93.568), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. This award supports the delivery of energy assistance services to eligible low-income households within the tribal jurisdiction located in Princeton, Maine.

The funding enables LIHEAP to provide federally supported assistance that reduces the financial burden of home energy costs for vulnerable populations, including direct bill payment assistance, emergency energy crisis intervention, weatherization improvements, and minor energy-related home repairs. As a tribal recipient, Indian Township Tribal Government is responsible for administering these services in compliance with federal requirements, including obtaining meaningful public participation in planning processes and maintaining independent audits per the Single Audit Act Amendments. The two-year performance period aligns with standard LIHEAP award cycles, allowing the tribe to deliver sustained energy cost management support to its community members.
