Community facilities - native american tribes

This federal Project Grant award of $351,000.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (CFDA 10.766 Community Facilities Loans and Grants program) to Dine College, a tribal land-grant institution serving the Navajo Nation in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The funding will support the construction, enlargement, extension, or improvement of community facilities providing essential services to rural residents in the Navajo Nation. This aligns with the program's objective to ensure reasonable user costs for rural community infrastructure projects. The award was made on September 27, 2023 with a planned completion date of September 27, 2023. As the first tribally controlled college in the United States, Dine College provides higher education opportunities to predominantly Native American students while preserving Navajo language, culture, and traditions. The college has received substantial federal grant funding to support its educational programs, research initiatives, and community outreach efforts.
