Federal Grant Award Summary

Northern Circle Indian Housing Authority received a $1,000,000 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) Program (CFDA 14.862) on July 13, 2026. The award, obligated through May 1, 2029, supports the development of viable American Indian communities in Ukiah, California. As a tribally owned housing authority, NCIHA utilizes ICDBG funding to deliver comprehensive housing and community development services, which may include housing construction and rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements, public facilities development, and supportive services targeted to low- and moderate-income Indian families and tribal members.

The ICDBG Program, administered by HUD's Office of Native American Programs, provides direct grants to eligible Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages to create decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities. NCIHA's funding award demonstrates the organization's established capacity to implement large-scale community development initiatives and positions it to continue its mission of improving living conditions and expanding economic opportunities for Native American populations in California through strategic project execution over the three-year performance period.
