Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $1,000,000 to the Northern Cheyenne Tribal Housing Authority on July 10, 2026, under the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) Program (CFDA 14.862). The project period extends through April 24, 2030, and will be implemented in Lame Deer, Montana. Under this Project Grant, the Northern Cheyenne Tribal Housing Authority will develop viable community infrastructure and housing improvements to support low- and moderate-income households and families on the Northern Cheyenne reservation. The ICDBG program funds eligible Indian tribes and Alaska Native communities to create decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities through activities such as infrastructure improvements, public facilities development, and housing rehabilitation.

As a tribally owned, non-profit organization with extensive experience securing HUD funding since 2008, the Northern Cheyenne Tribal Housing Authority will utilize these funds to advance community development initiatives aligned with program objectives. The award represents part of HUD's ongoing commitment to support Indian and Alaska Native communities through competitive Single Purpose Grants, which are evaluated based on established Notice of Funding Opportunity criteria and require execution of a grant agreement before funds are accessed through HUD's Line of Credit Control System (LOCCS).
