Hopland Band Of Pomo Indians

The Hopland Band of Pomo Indians is a federally recognized Indian tribe indigenous to Southern Mendocino County in Northern California, headquartered at 3000 Shanel Rd, Hopland, California. The tribe has been registered to receive federal awards since December 2003 and maintains active federal grant prime awardee status across multiple agencies. As a tribal government, the Hopland Band of Pomo Indians receives federal grant funding to strengthen community capacity, address social and economic needs, and implement culturally appropriate programs and services that benefit tribal members both on and near the reservation.

The tribe's federal grant portfolio demonstrates substantial engagement across social services, environmental management, criminal justice, and community infrastructure programs. In the domain of child care and early childhood development, Hopland has received multiple Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) grants and Child Care and Development Block Grant Discretionary (CCDD) awards from the Office of Child Care spanning fiscal years 2022 through 2026, supporting child care services and development initiatives for low-income families. The tribe operates significant victim services programs funded through multiple Department of Justice awards, including Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside (TVSSA) grants from the Office for Victims of Crime totaling over $600,000 across fiscal years 2022-2025, as well as a Justice System Infrastructure Program award of approximately $900,000 from the Bureau of Justice Assistance to enhance tribal court operations and establish a specialized kinship court for victims of crime. The tribe has also received substantial support from the Department of Health and Human Services for community services programming, including Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and LIHEAP Infrastructure Supplement awards from the Office of Community Services for fiscal years 2022-2026, Family Violence Prevention and Services Block Grants from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families, and Justice for Families grants from the Office on Violence Against Women to improve civil and criminal justice responses to domestic violence and sexual assault. Environmental stewardship comprises another significant area of Hopland's federal grant work, with the tribe receiving multiple Environmental Protection Agency awards from EPA Region 9 for water quality monitoring, nonpoint source management, pollution prevention, recycling coordination, indoor air quality education, and capacity building in environmental program administration. Historic preservation activities have been supported through annual Historic Preservation Fund grants from the National Park Service supporting the tribe's Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) program. Additionally, the tribe has received grants for specialized initiatives including a community transit program from the Federal Transit Administration for providing environmentally friendly on-demand transit services to reservation residents, coronavirus capital projects funding from the Department of the Treasury for broadband infrastructure development, and Indian Health Service grants supporting domestic violence prevention and victim services with culturally appropriate and trauma-informed care practices. The Federal Self-Governance Compact program has also provided block grant funding to support the tribe's self-governance initiatives.
