Indian housing block grants

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Seneca Nation of Indians $1,000,000 under the Indian Community Development Block Grant Program (CFDA 14.862) on July 10, 2026, with performance through July 3, 2028, at Salamanca, New York. The ICDBG program funds the development of viable American Indian and Alaska Native communities, including decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities. The grant is structured as a project grant, and funds are accessed through HUD's Line of Credit Control System (LOCCS) following execution of a grant agreement. The Seneca Nation of Indians is a federally recognized tribal government headquartered in Salamanca, New York, that receives federal grants across social services, infrastructure, environmental protection, and community development. The Nation operates through its own departments—Seneca Nation Health System, Seneca Nation Environmental Protection Department, Seneca Nation Department of Transportation and Seneca Transit System, Seneca Nation Library, and Seneca Nation Office of Child Care—as direct grant recipients across a federal portfolio spanning 66 distinct agencies.
