Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $183,774.00 to the Chilkoot Indian Association on April 8, 2026, under the Indian Community Development Block Grant Program (ICDBG, CFDA 14.862). This Project Grant, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2027, supports community development initiatives in Haines, Alaska. The ICDBG program provides funding to federally recognized tribal governments and organizations to develop viable American Indian and Alaska Native communities through activities that create decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income beneficiaries.

While the specific project activities are not detailed in the award documentation, the Chilkoot Indian Association has demonstrated extensive experience delivering housing, infrastructure, and community development services across multiple sectors. As a recipient of this funding, the organization will utilize the grant toward viable community development objectives in Haines, a remote Alaska Native village of approximately 1,905 residents. Projects under this program category typically address infrastructure improvements, housing construction or rehabilitation, public facilities development, or economic development programs serving eligible low- and moderate-income tribal members and community residents.
