Berry Creek Rancheria Of Maidu Indians Of California

Berry Creek Rancheria of Maidu Indians of California, operating as the Tyme Maidu Tribe, is a federally recognized Indian tribe headquartered in Oroville, California. The tribe has been registered in SAM.gov since February 2007 and maintains an active federal award recipient status. As a tribal government entity, Berry Creek Rancheria provides essential social services, community development support, and cultural preservation initiatives to its members and the broader tribal community through federal grant awards. The tribe does not hold any federal contracts but has established itself as a consistent and reliable recipient of federal grant funding across multiple program areas.

Berry Creek Rancheria has demonstrated substantial expertise in administering federal grants across six primary program areas. The tribe receives ongoing support through the Office of Child Care, managing both the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) and the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDD) programs, which support early childhood care and development services for low-income families within the tribal community. Through the Office of Community Services, the tribe administers the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and its infrastructure supplement component (LIEI), providing critical utility and energy assistance to low-income households. The tribe has consistently secured project grants from the Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime under the Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside (TVSSA) Program, implementing culturally appropriate victim services and supporting crime victims within the community. Housing development represents another significant focus, with the tribe receiving a $5,000,000 Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to support affordable housing construction, rehabilitation, acquisition, and infrastructure improvements for low-income Native American families. Additionally, the tribe received a Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund award from the Treasury Department to support capital projects enabling work, education, and health monitoring in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and secured funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to create a digital library preserving tribal culture and history through digitized archival materials including audio recordings, historical documents, maps, poetry, art, and basketry. These diverse grant awards demonstrate the tribe's capacity to address community needs across social services, economic development, cultural preservation, and emergency response initiatives.
