About this opportunity
The Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) Program, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Native American Programs, seeks competitive grant applications from federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations to support community development initiatives. The primary objective is to develop viable Indian and Alaska Native communities by creating decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities primarily for low- and moderate-income persons. Projects must principally benefit low- and moderate-income individuals, with applicants required to demonstrate community need, provide detailed implementation plans, and ensure at least 70% of grant funds directly support target populations. The application will be evaluated across five rating factors: applicant capacity, extent of need, soundness of approach, leveraging resources, and comprehensiveness and coordination, with a minimum score of 70 points required for funding consideration. The application deadline is December 10, 2025, with an anticipated award date of April 24, 2026.
The grant program will distribute approximately $70 million, with individual grant requests ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, with specific grant ceilings determined by tribal population size. The grants will support a five-year performance period from March 25, 2026, to March 24, 2031, covering projects in six Area ONAP regions: Alaska, Eastern Woodlands, Northern Plains, Northwest, Southern Plains, and Southwest. Eligible projects can include housing development, infrastructure improvements, public facilities construction, economic development programs, and supportive community services, with a focus on addressing critical community needs and creating sustainable opportunities for Native American and Alaska Native populations.
Synopsis
The primary objective of the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) program is the development of viable Indian and Alaska Native communities, including the creation of decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities primarily for persons of low-and moderate-incomes. See the ICDBG regulations at 24 CFR 1003.2, the full text of which is available at 24 CFR part 1003.a. Single Purpose Grants. Projects funded by the ICDBG program must principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons (24 CFR 1003.208). These are competitive grants and are the subject of this NOFO.b. Imminent Threat Grants. Projects funded with Imminent Threat grant funds are to address issues that have an immediate negative impact on public health or safety of tribal residents.You do not have to apply for an Imminent Threat grant by the deadline established in this NOFO. These funds are awarded on a first-come first-serve basis until the amount set aside for this purpose is expended. The Imminent Threat request must be submitted to the Area ONAP for your region in accordance with Notice PIH 2025-09 (supersedes Program Guidance 2018-04), and the requirements in 24 CFR part 1003 subpart E.
