The ICDBG program supports the development of viable American Indian and Alaska Native communities through decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities. Eligible recipients are federally recognized Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages, along with tribal organizations authorized to apply on behalf of them. Grants are awarded competitively as single-purpose awards or on a first-come, first-served basis for imminent threat (disaster) situations. Project periods vary based on the implementation schedule submitted by applicants and approved by HUD. The primary beneficiaries are families meeting NAHASDA criteria. Recipients access funds through HUD's Line of Credit Control System after executing a grant agreement.
