Indian housing block grants

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Ketchikan Indian Community $997,792 on July 29, 2026, under the Indian Community Development Block Grant Program (CFDA 14.862). The recipient, a federally recognized Alaska Native tribal government serving over 6,000 enrolled members from the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimpsean nations, will use the funds to develop viable tribal community infrastructure and economic opportunities in Ketchikan, Alaska. The award period runs through December 30, 2027. The ICDBG Program supports the creation of decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities for American Indian and Alaska Native communities, with primary beneficiaries being families meeting NAHASDA eligibility criteria. Ketchikan Indian Community receives this award as a prime recipient under tribal set-asides and operates its federal grant portfolio without contract vehicles, instead pursuing direct formula allocations and project competitions from federal agencies. The organization's grant work spans health and human services, transportation infrastructure, housing, environmental protection, and community resilience across approximately forty federal agencies.
