Community facilities - native american tribes

The Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College received a $352,000 project grant on September 13, 2023 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766). This funding supports the construction, enlargement, extension, or improvement of community facilities providing essential services to rural residents. Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College, a 1994 Land Grant college, has demonstrated a track record of securing federal grants to deliver critical infrastructure and resources to Native American communities in Michigan. In 2022, the college also received a $344,895 sub-award to expand access to vital community amenities. The Community Facilities Loans and Grants program aims to ensure reasonable user costs for rural community infrastructure projects, making investments in fire protection, public safety, healthcare, education, and utility services.
