About this opportunity

The Department of Housing and Urban Development is forecasting funding under the Indian Community Development Block Grant Program (CFDA 14.862) for viable Indian and Alaska Native community development, with application deadlines varying by grant track as referenced in the current Notice of Funding Opportunity.

Eligible applicants are Indian tribes listed in the Federal Register's "Indian Entities Recognized by and Eligible To Receive Services From the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs" (89 Fed. Reg. 238, December 11, 2024) or previously eligible under the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972, and tribal organizations eligible under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act that apply on behalf of authorized tribes with concurring resolutions. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are ineligible. Applicants must establish eligibility by the application submission date.

HUD administers two funding tracks: Single Purpose Grants (awarded competitively) and Imminent Threat Grants (awarded first-come, first-served). Single Purpose Grants fund projects that principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons through decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities including housing rehabilitation, water and sewer construction, community centers, public facilities, and economic development activities. Imminent Threat Grants address immediate public health or safety threats from disasters and emergencies. Imminent Threat requests are submitted to the Area ONAP office per Notice PIH 2025-09 and do not follow the Single Purpose competitive deadline.

Individual awards range from under $200,000 to $2 million. Period of performance length is determined by the applicant's Implementation Schedule and approved by HUD. Projects must serve low- and moderate-income beneficiaries per NAHASDA criteria and 24 CFR 1003.208.

Forecast 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.
