Paiute Indian Tribe Of Utah

Paiute Indian Tribe Of Utah, a federally recognized tribal government headquartered in Cedar City, Utah, is a recipient of federal grants across health, social services, environmental, and community development programs, operating exclusively as a prime recipient with no subcontracting activity across 182 recent awards spanning multiple federal agencies.

The tribe's federal funding portfolio centers on health and human services delivery, with the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families dominating recent activity through recurring formula and block grant awards supporting child care, child welfare, family violence prevention, and low-income energy assistance programs. Recent representative awards include a $5.624 million Child Care and Development Block Grant (CFDA 93.575) from the Office of Child Care running through September 2028, a $434,341 Child Care and Development Fund Mandatory & Matching formula grant (CFDA 93.596) awarded October 2025, a $338,545 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program formula grant (CFDA 93.568) from the Office of Community Services covering October 2025 through September 2027, and a $110,000 Indian Environmental General Assistance Program grant (CFDA 66.926) from EPA Region 8 supporting operation of the tribe's Office of Environmental Protection through September 2027. The tribe also received a $1 million Indian Community Development Block Grant (CFDA 14.862) from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded July 2026 for community development activities in Cedar City with performance through January 2028, and a $1.8 million Economic Development Administration Project Grant (CFDA 11.307) awarded April 2022 to support Phase 3 construction of the Cedar City Community Health Center.

The HHS Administration for Children and Families accounts for a substantial portion of the tribe's award volume, appearing across recurring child care, child welfare, family violence prevention, and other social-services formula allocations. Activity spans 24 distinct federal customer agencies but concentrates in HHS programs. The tribe's federal funding profile is grant-focused rather than contract-oriented; no federal contract prime vehicles or subcontracting arrangements appear in the source data. Awards reflect the tribe's governance role serving five constituent bands (Shivwits, Cedar, Indian Peaks, Kanosh, and Koosharem) in southwestern Utah and the Benton Paiute Reservation in California. Fifteen awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure for continuation grants. Award volume was relatively stable in 2022–2024 (12, 12, and 11 awards respectively) before declining to seven in 2025 and one in 2026 to date, reflecting the seasonal and multi-year nature of tribal grant cycles rather than declining federal support.
