Community Development Block Grant Program for Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages

The Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) program, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, aims to support the development of viable Indian and Alaska Native communities by fostering decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic opportunities primarily for low- and moderate-income individuals. The program offers two main types of grants: Single Purpose Grants, which are awarded competitively and require projects to principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, and Imminent Threat Grants, which address urgent issues posing immediate risks to public health or safety in tribal areas. While Single Purpose Grants must adhere to specific deadlines in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), Imminent Threat Grants are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are depleted, with requests submitted directly to the appropriate Area ONAP office. Applicants seeking funding under the ICDBG program must comply with regulations outlined in 24 CFR part 1003, which govern program activities and grant administration. Imminent Threat Grants follow additional guidance detailed in Notice PIH 2025-09 and 24 CFR part 1003 subpart E. For inquiries or application assistance, the ONAP Grant Management Director can be contacted via the provided email. This forecast provides essential information for tribes and Alaska Native villages looking to enhance their communities through federal support aimed at addressing both long-term development needs and immediate health and safety threats.
