Federal Grant Award Summary

The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe received a formula grant award of $108,016.00 from the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Community Services, under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP, CFDA 93.568). The award period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This funding enables the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe to deliver direct assistance to eligible low-income households within its tribal jurisdiction in Washington, including utility bill payment assistance, emergency energy crisis intervention, weatherization improvements, and minor energy-related home repairs designed to maintain safe and healthy living conditions for vulnerable populations.

As a federally recognized tribal recipient, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe administers this formula-based allocation through its comprehensive tribal government structure and Muckleshoot Tribal Enterprises. The award requires annual submission of a LIHEAP Model Plan to the Administration for Children and Families Online Data Collection system and compliance with federal audit and regulatory requirements under the Single Audit Act and applicable federal regulations. The tribe's established track record as a robust federal grant recipient across multiple agencies positions it to effectively deliver these essential energy assistance services to its community members.
