Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana Tribal Office received a $272,250 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services - Service Coordinators program (CFDA 14.870), effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2029. This award funds service coordination activities under the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative designed to link public and Indian housing residents to supportive services that address barriers to economic and housing self-sufficiency, including educational, professional, and health-related obstacles.

The funding supports the employment of service coordinators who will facilitate connections between housing residents and community resources, case management, and targeted supportive services to promote pathways toward economic self-sufficiency and housing stability. As a federally recognized tribal government serving approximately 1,600 enrolled members in Marksville, Louisiana, the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe has demonstrated substantial capacity and experience managing federal grant portfolios across multiple service areas, positioning it to effectively implement this three-year service coordination initiative within the tribal community.
