Indian housing block grants

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded Fort Sill Apache Tribe $1 million on July 14, 2026, under the Indian Community Development Block Grant Program (CFDA 14.862) to support development of viable American Indian communities, including decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities.

Fort Sill Apache Tribe, headquartered in Apache, Oklahoma, will carry out the work through June 25, 2029. The tribe operates exclusively as a grant recipient and holds no federal contracts. The project period and implementation schedule were submitted by the tribe and approved by HUD; costs and planned drawdowns must be incurred during the stated period of performance. Eligible beneficiaries are families meeting the criteria of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act and 24 CFR 1003.208. The tribe will access funds through HUD's Line of Credit Control System (LOCCS).
