Indian Community Development Block Grant Program

The purpose of the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) program is the development of viable American Indian and Alaska Native communities, including the creation of decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities

The ICDBG Program provides eligible grantees with direct grants for use in developing viable Indian and Alaska Native Communities, including decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities.

Eligible applicants are any Indian tribe, band, group, or nation, including Alaska Indians, Aleuts, and Eskimos, and any Alaska native village of the United States which is considered an eligible recipient under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450) or which had been an eligible recipient under the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972 (31 U.S.C. 1221). Eligible recipients under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act will be determined by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and eligible recipients under the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972 are those that have been determined eligible by the Department of Treasury, Office of Revenue Sharing. Tribal organizations which are eligible under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act may apply on behalf of any Indian tribe, band, group, nation, or Alaska native village eligible under that act for funds under this part when one or more of these entities have authorized the tribal organization to do so through concurring resolutions. Such resolutions must accompany the application for funding. Eligible tribal organizations under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act will be determined by the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the Indian Health Service, as appropriate. An applicant must be eligible as an Indian tribe or as a tribal organization, as required by 24 CFR 1003.5, by the application deadline date of the NOFA.

The primary beneficiaries are families that meet the criteria of NAHASDA and 24 CFR 1003.208.

Two types of grants are available under the ICDBG program: single purpose grants and imminent threat grants. Single purpose grants are awarded competitively and are based on the factors and criteria included in the Notice of Funding Opportunity. Funds can be used for a range of affordable housing activities that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income American Indian and Alaska Native families. Imminent threat grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis for qualifying disasters and other emergencies.
