Federal Grant Award Summary

The Oglala Lakota Housing Authority received a $1.5 million Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG, CFDA 14.862) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, awarded July 10, 2026, with a completion date of March 31, 2031. The grant supports development of viable American Indian and Alaska Native communities on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota through infrastructure improvements, affordable housing development, housing rehabilitation, and related community services benefiting low-income Native American families and vulnerable populations.

The ICDBG program operates through competitive Single Purpose Grants and first-come, first-served Imminent Threat Grants, with eligible activities including water and sewer construction, community facilities, housing weatherization, and economic development initiatives. As a tribally designated housing entity, the Oglala Lakota Housing Authority has a demonstrated track record of federal grant management, having previously received substantial HUD funding for housing choice voucher programs, prior Indian Housing Block Grants, and complementary federal support from the Department of Energy and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for renewable energy and behavioral health initiatives on the reservation.
